The project proposes a clustered housing development located at the peri-urban edge of the city of Córdoba, within a landscape defined by the horizontality of the plain and sparse vegetation. In this context, the architecture seeks to respond clearly to environmental and territorial conditions, avoiding unnecessary formal gestures and focusing instead on the construction of a precise and efficient spatial system.
The proposal is structured around a modular logic, where the repetition of a base unit organizes the ensemble into a clear and legible order. This modular matrix not only establishes the compositional rhythm of the project, but also introduces flexibility and programmatic efficiency, allowing for multiple housing configurations and future adaptations without compromising the coherence of the system.
The dwellings are arranged through a sequence of courtyards, galleries, and intermediate spaces that regulate the relationship between interior and exterior. In an arid environment, where shade and ventilation are essential, these spatial devices operate as environmental regulators and as habitable extensions of the home. In this way, the project constructs a form of domesticity that opens toward the landscape, where the boundaries between inside and outside become gradual and diffuse.
Materiality is guided by criteria of durability, low maintenance, and tectonic clarity. The ensemble is primarily resolved in exposed brick, a noble material that provides thermal mass, texture, and visual continuity. This system is complemented by aluminum joinery and lightweight metal structures, used in pergolas and galleries that extend the living spaces outward, generating shaded areas and transitional zones.
The repetition of brick, the modulation of openings, and the presence of metal pergolas establish a rhythmic sequence that orders the ensemble and reinforces its identity. Architecture is expressed through proportion, repetition, and the precision of its elements, deliberately avoiding any formal excess.
