English text (scroll down for Spanish):

The project proposes the renovation and reprogramming of a 170 m² corner house built in 1954 in Villa María, a mid-sized city in the interior of Córdoba, Argentina. The intervention reorganizes the program into two continuous and interconnected functional blocks—public and private. Fixed uses are resolved through an autonomous monolithic module that concentrates services and frees the remaining space, allowing flexibility and reversibility over time.

The use of accessible materials and local construction techniques reinforces a commitment to the Argentine context, understanding design as a situated act that responds to what is available and to the real conditions of the territory. Within this framework, brick—an element deeply rooted in Córdoba’s building culture—is reinterpreted through an alteration of its conventional logic. Suspended within an independent steel structure, the brick abandons its monolithic condition, separates from the load-bearing plane, and redefines the spatial boundary.

Void acquires the same importance as matter: the element ceases to be a wall and becomes an experience. Light passes through it, seasons modify its perceptual density, and the movement of the user activates a dynamic play of shadows and transparencies. In this way, a “space within a space” is constructed, where the spatial experience unfolds through successive layers of materiality.

Exposed concrete, steel, stone, brick, and wood are presented without artifice, in an exercise of material honesty that reveals the constructive process. There are no claddings or simulations; each material expresses its structural and sensory nature.

The suspended brick element carries a sense of incompletion, almost provisional in character. It introduces tension.

Brick becomes ethereal, lightweight, mutable, and fluid, expanding its symbolic and spatial possibilities.
The project is a tribute to a deep understanding of the nature of materials, conceived in a state of permanent transition. It suggests that architecture is not a definitive state but a continuous negotiation between matter, time, inhabitation, and context.

There is a gesture of respect, but also of controlled irreverence.
The material itself is not changed; its will to be is altered. Innovation lies not in the object, but in the logic.

Spanish:
El programa propone la remodelación y refuncionalización de una vivienda esquina de 170m2 cubiertos, construida en 1954 en Villa María, ciudad del interior de Cordoba, reorganizando el programa en dos bloques funcionales [publico y privado] continuos y articulados entre si. Los usos fijos se resuelven mediante un módulo monolítico autónomo que concentra servicios y libera el resto del espacio, permitiendo flexibilidad y reversibilidad.

El uso de materiales accesibles y técnicas constructivas locales refuerza un compromiso con el contexto argentino, entendiendo el diseño como un acto situado que responde a lo disponible y a las condiciones reales del territorio. En este marco, el ladrillo —elemento tradicional de la cultura constructiva cordobesa— es reinterpretado mediante una alteración de su lógica habitual. Suspendido dentro de una estructura metálica independiente, el ladrillo abandona su condición monolítica, se separa del plano portante y redefine el límite. El vacío adquiere la misma importancia que la materia: la pieza deja de ser muro para transformarse en experiencia. La luz lo atraviesa, las estaciones modifican su espesor perceptivo y el movimiento del usuario activa un juego dinámico de sombras y transparencias. Se construye así un “espacio dentro del espacio”, donde la experiencia atraviesa capas sucesivas de materialidad.

Hormigón visto, acero, piedra, ladrillo y madera se presentan sin artificios, en un ejercicio de honestidad material que evidencia el proceso constructivo. No hay revestimientos ni simulaciones: cada material expresa su naturaleza estructural y sensorial.

La pieza de ladrillo suspendido tiene algo inacabado, casi provisional. Propone tensión.

El ladrillo se vuelve etéreo, liviano, mutante y fluyente, expandiendo sus posibilidades simbólicas y espaciales.

El proyecto es un homenaje a la comprensión profunda de la naturaleza de los materiales, concebidos en un estado de transición permanente. Sugiere que la arquitectura no es un estado definitivo, sino un proceso continuo de negociación entre: materia, tiempo, habitar y contexto.

Hay un gesto de respeto, pero también de irreverencia controlada.

No se cambia el material: se altera su voluntad de ser. La innovación no está en el objeto, sino en la lógica.
