The beaux arts structure is now home to the Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires. For the property, EDG Interior Architecture + Design conceived a restaurant and polo-themed bar that take aesthetic cues from the mansion itself and other turn-of-the-century residences nearby. Evocative of an open courtyard, the two-story main dining room showcases the firm’s twist on traditional checkerboard flooring: honed Carrara marble tile dry-laid in a herringbone pattern. Patrons ascend to the mezzanine by way of a curving steel staircase. Loads of tableware or wine bottles, however, are conveyed up and down via a more whimsical mode of transport: a hand-cranked dumbwaiter. Hand-tooled leather wall cladding nods to gaucho culture, as do the semicircular booths surrounded by partitions made of vertical leather straps that approximate bridle reins. The neighboring Pony Line bar-lounge is replete with alpaca silver detailing and parchment-clad steamer trunks reworked as cocktail tables. The firm’s favorite aspect of the project? The “secret” link between restaurant and lounge: A black-and-white marble path leads past the bar and pantry and through the kitchen, like a butler’s back stair. Clockwise from opposite: Carrara marble accents the exhibition kitchen. The restaurant’s dry-laid marble herringbone floor was carefully honed to a level surface. Hammered alpaca silver, inset with strips of horn, clads a wall behind the bar at Pony Line. In the pantry passage, leading from Elena to Pony Line, open shelves display tableware.

At Elena, leather partitions separating the banquettes draw inspiration from the world of polo.
