House MF
This small house, designed for a family of young professionals and their newborn child, is located on the outskirts of the city of Córdoba, where the boundaries between countryside and city tend to blur.
The project, which is part of a larger constellation of operations in similar territories that the office has been working on in recent years, emerges as an opportunity to explore typological possibilities for domestic life in the suburbs.
Located on a 258 m2 plot (12.00 x 21.50 m), the house, blind to the front, occupies half of the plot while opening to its best orientation, responding to lessons learned from the galleries of the "casa chorizo" typology of the Argentine pampas. This not only maximizes lighting and ventilation but also creates a patio of the same dimensions as the house, which, through a system of movable carpentry, allows for complete integration between the interior and exterior.
Inside, beneath a steeply inclined roof, the social space is housed, resolved through a section that prioritizes volume over surface area and vertically connects the living-dining room with a small study on the second floor.
Finally, due to a limited budget from a mortgage loan, the tectonics of the project are resolved through a system of two parallel beams, 17 meters long, functioning as gargoyles and eaves. Without intermediate columns, they support a lightweight roof made of rectangular tubes (160 x 60 mm) in the social space and a solid concrete slab over the bedrooms, which will allow for an additional floor in a future second phase.
