The expansion project works on a house that has existed since 1918, on practically wild land located in front of the Tercer Usina lake, in Córdoba. The biggest challenge of this house lies in giving meaning to the original house again with the fewest possible interventions on it (only repairs and maintenance) and, since we understand that it is imp...

Aesthetically we try to achieve pure and clear shapes, working by opposing blind material planes and concrete with areas of transparency and openness. As a result, the house appears heavy on its front façade, a product of the blind box that supports the garage and the entrance hall, while, on its back, it opens completely to the patio, seeking to h...

In this scenario, a non-permanent occupation housing with a dynamic program for an assemble family, formulated the bases of a challenging project. The answer was to break with the rigid use of home spaces and single-family box idea.

The public housing sector shelters from the front to live with privacy and allied with nature. The limit of the house is the horizon of the landscape that the lot poses.
The linear circulations are contained by their own exterior, the patios. They allow us to recreate the necessary privacy of each sector of the house.

Located on the outskirts of Córdoba, in a natural environment, the project arises from the need to refurbish a house originally designed for a large family that currently cannot adapt to the users' needs. Over time, certain spaces have ceased to have a specific function and required rethinking.

The view towards the mountains plays a fundamental role in the spatial layout of this house of 40 m2 covered and 22 m2 semi-covered.

It is a house based on a square 3x3 grid where the stairs and the circulation in the upperfloor are located in the center. On the ground floor, to avoid corridors, the rooms are connected to achieve as much space and light as possible. Taking advantage of the long views towards the golf course, we located the living room and dining room.
