Located in the northern area of Córdoba, in the Argüello neighborhood, this housing complex is set on a corner lot with a particularly irregular geometry—an unusual site that, along with the presence of a medium-sized linden tree, became the starting point for the project’s design logic.

In the volcanic heart of Kalapana, Hawaii, a futuristic structure gently rests upon the rock, like an organic creature finding refuge. It doesn’t conquer the landscape, it contemplates it. Inspired by parasitic architecture, Volcano Shell adapts to its surroundings like a natural extension of the hardened lava.

Amidst a mountainous severity, a small stream river cuts its presence. Time and climate – the ultimate artisans. From this panorama, large blocks of sawn local granite appear, sheltering a small house. Just like the river, this house represents a (brief) moment of “reconciliation” with Nature.
