MAPA Architects revitalizes an old ranch house in rural Uruguay—more than 5,300 miles away from the clients’ primary home.

The oak chosen for the cabinetry was “one of those balancing elements between the original wood structure and the ceiling,” says lead interior designer Tina Schnabel.

The barn-style front doorsstay open during warmer months, giving a view of Eugenia’s garden. A floating desk, Hay Design coffee table and separate couch offer additional seating in the downstairs area.

The living room features a Yucca Stuff coffee table as well as a sofa designed by Austin interior designer Ann Edgerton and built by Tyson Pendergrass.

Camp O House and Studio floor plan

To access the living room, two stairs connect the upper floor bedrooms and lower floor entrance.

Front View

Expansive windows in the kitchen frame views of the nearby forest and meadows.

In the upstairs bedroom, built-in shelving surrounding the window frames provides storage space for books and mementos.
