A Forest in the House / Equipo de Arquitectura

Valentina Díaz — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0000

"When the phrase 'we cannot see the forest for the trees' is repeated, its exact meaning might not be fully understood. Perhaps the mockery hidden behind the phrase turns against the one who utters it. The trees do not let us see the forest, and thanks to that, the forest exists. The mission of the visible trees is to make the rest remain latent, and only when we realize that the visible landscape hides other invisible landscapes do we feel inside a forest." — Meditations on Quixote. Depth and Surface — José Ortega y Gasset (1914)

Reducing architecture to the minimum elements is like writing a haiku: all the effort is concentrated on telling something in the most concise and efficient way possible.

House in the Woods / Oficina X

Andreas Luco — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 03:00:00 +0000

A pre-existing colonial tile house, near the lake and in the middle of the forest. San Bernardino, is a city where poetry becomes material. We abstract the essence of the house and deconstruct it. The long horizontal strokes that arise from the existing turn the object into a landscape. The "genius loci" manifests itself through the forest, and therefore understanding its essence would constitute the field of work where the idea is constructed. A tree articulates the translation of the access between thick earth walls built with the soil of the place. A door reveals it.

House for Chiquita / Meraki Arquitectura + Diseño

Andreas Luco — Thu, 18 May 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The house for Chiquita is a weekend home. The brief was to create a space for relaxation and family get-togethers, with the shortest execution time possible.

Ensayo Umbra / Bauen

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 14:00:00 +0000

"Reality would not only be what it is, what it reveals in truth but it would also be its double, its shadow, its image."
Emmanuel Levinas

Ovenbird House / BAUEN

Clara Ott — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 07:00:00 +0000

"There, if the mud is soft,
sings its sincere joy.
I would like to be a ovenbird
and make my hut singing.

As its house is the center
of all love and skill,
he takes it out of his head
and puts his heart inside.

He works it in straw and mud,
he works it beautifully,
that in mud and straw
is a bizarre architect."

"El Hornero" - Leopoldo Lugones

Keche House / Javier Corvalán + Laboratorio de Arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The “Keche” house or the periscope of a stone submarine called Bulo, stranded in Yby'anguy in San Bernardino. It is well known that Le Corbusier landed in Asunción in1929. His trip is an unforeseen event on his agenda, although he left it recorded with notes and drawings as was his good habit. Much more interesting and I would even say exciting, is the story that makes him fly to Paraguay.

Horizon House / Bauen

The city of San Bernardino is known for its rugged topography in most parts of its territory. We place ourselves in a land with privileged views. Taking in mind the particularities of the site, we decided to focus our objectives on enhancing the most captivating aspect of it: THE HORIZON.

Peak House / OMCM arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 03:00:00 +0000

Between the stones and the water. A lot located in the mountain range of Los Altos, treading geographically within the city of San Bernardino, with romantic sunset views over the famous Ypacaraí lake, which has become the historical scene of the summer life of many Paraguayans, is the site where we were summoned to project a weekend house to be enjoyed by families and friends. With a rugged topography and rocky terrain, the picturesque and steep location suggested the idea of implementing the program in such a way to generate a stepped succession of terraces that allow users to enjoy the landscape from different perspectives and times of the day.

Wild Lilac House / Walker Workshop

Andreas Luco — Fri, 09 Aug 2019 03:00:00 +0000

This 3,200 sf single-family residence and accompanying 800 sf pool house were envisioned as a refuge cradled within the foothills of the San Bernardino National Forest. The design uses a series of thickened walls which run east-west along the topography of the dramatic mountain site to establish discrete programmatic zones and protect the interiors from the sun. Each resulting zone affirms its connection to the surrounding hillside, extending to outdoor living areas and into the landscape beyond, while the thickened walls demarcate successively more private areas of the house.

Hillside House / BAUEN

Clara Ott — Thu, 30 May 2019 08:00:00 +0000

The Hillside House is located in San Bernardino, far enough away to drive off the noise, 45 minutes from the city of Asuncion, and close enough to enjoy its privileged nature.

La Escondida House / Nou arquitectos

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Jackrabbit Wash / Aaron D'Innocenzo

Jonathan Alarcón — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000
