Casa Pirca is located within the neighborhood on a rectangular lot, with an abrupt difference in level longitudinally dividing it in two, an exponent of its greatest quality. Faced with this, a wall was thought to define the terrain on two levels and a volume supported on it. The term "Pirca" refers to the walls that act as containment of embankmen...

The project is developed in a very low-density suburban environment, with uniform architecture and lush vegetation as a distinctive feature.

The design of this home posed a particular challenge: distributing a large program on the ground floor of a triangular lot that, despite its extensive front, did not offer a large rear space. To optimize it, it was decided to implement the ground floor in two distant bars: one against the front with the common areas and the other, with the rest are...
