Mirikina House / José Cubilla

Benjamin Zapico — Sat, 09 Mar 2024 13:00:00 +0000

A low-impact house on the outskirts of Asuncion very close to the Paraguay river. Understanding the biophysical aspects of the place, it seemed essential to assume a low-impact construction with friendly implantation and the smallest possible footprint in a low, humid, and floodable native forest.

Clara Ott — Sat, 20 May 2023 17:00:00 +0000

It was January 23, 2020. A hot morning, like so many during the summers in the capital of Paraguay, Asunción. The temperature hovered around 29 degrees Celsius at just 8:30 am. The characteristic sound of the mobile phone makes its appearance inside the office of the small studio, located in the Ricardo Brugado neighborhood, better known as the Chacarita neighborhood. At the third repetition Solanito picks up:
-Hello, what are you doing, Tapiti?
-Of course, Tapiti, I remember, right away.
-Alright, see you on Friday Tapiti, greetings to Luce.
Before any questions, an answer. Pablito wants to get together to discuss his house that we talked about yesterday after soccer. The story of some determined friends building a future home.

Residence Ara Pytu / José Cubilla

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 16 Mar 2021 03:00:00 +0000

In the Guaraní cosmogony, Ara means day, "time" and Pytu means "darkness"; together they suggest an atmosphere of gloom that embraces the space. The house is located in a beautiful and shady forest, with a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna.

Stone House / Meraki Arquitectura + Diseño

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 16:00:00 +0000

On a lot with lush vegetation and a dry and sandy environment, the house seeks a balance between privacy and a relationship with the exterior space. Persistent and easy-maintenance materials are used from the start, understanding the environment and the user's requirements.

Casu House / Arkstudio

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 06 May 2019 16:00:00 +0000

The main structure is a curved roof without intermediate structures, where the internal pillars are substituted by underground cables. The roof is supported by three concrete pillars that extend the curve, transmitting its weight to the ground. In addition, they work as gutter drops on each side, carrying the water to a cistern, where it is reused for irrigation of the land.

Garage Surubi´i / IND/ARQ

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 13:00:00 +0000

When visiting the site assigned to the project we find two different pre-existences: one artificial and small, in the form of an existing construction. The other, natural and extensive, in the form of an existing landscape. We are interested in reinforcing the second and attenuating the first.
