Upstairs, Downstairs and In Between

Casa en Playa Brava, Punta del Este, Uruguay,

This single-family dwelling, built in 1982, is a work of the Argentine architect Ricardo Gomara, located in one of the most favored areas of Punta del Este, Uruguay.

Situated on the front line at stop 20 of Playa Brava, this house illustrates a period of boom in second-residence architecture for the Argentine upper classes.

Its construction coincides with the real estate boom of the late 70s and early 80s, which found a break in the economic crisis of 1982.

“Tilly Losch Footprint” Carpet,’ 1950,

Monkton House, South Downs, West Sussex, United Kingdom,

The Surrealist British poet Edward James was so in love with his ballerina wife, Tilly Losch, that when he saw a trail of her wet footprints up the stairs after her bath, he had them woven into the carpet. He also created a stairwell lined in a carpet woven with his dog’s paw-prints.
