Crdoba, like many other Latin American cities, struggles to establish harmonious connections between urban growth and its natural heritage. Casa AG is situated between the city's last natural reserve and a small creek at the northwestern edge of the urban sprawl.Save this picture!Save this picture!The house's typology is organized around the thickening of the wall facing the access street. This entirely opaque wall, with a depth of 2 meters, accommodates the wet infrastructures. Once inside, the interior spaces open completely towards a porch that frames the first landscape the house engages with the backyard.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Ascending the staircase to the second floor, an oversized window (3.40 x 2.60 meters) offers an immersive interaction with the vegetation of the creek. At the culmination of this circulatory journey, a terrace provides expansive views of the San Martn Reserve, serving as the ideal spot to comprehend the broader territory in which the project is embedded.Save this picture!Save this picture!Striving for geometric and material abstraction that does not compete with its surroundings, the house is constructed almost entirely using a single exterior material. Walls and floors made of compacted aggregate bricks minimize future maintenance costs and reduce on-site detailing, making the construction more economical.Save this picture!Save this picture!Ultimately, Casa AG functions as an architectural device that involves its inhabitants in political decisions at a territorial scale, extending the influence of the domestic sphere into the public realm.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMaterialBrickMaterials and TagsPublished on December 13, 2024Cite: "AG House / Balsa Crosetto Piazzi" 13 Dec 2024.
