Concrete, sheet metal and large stretches of glass form the exterior of a home in the province of Córdoba by Argentine firm STC Arquitectos.
The project is named after its location in La Hornilla, a suburb of Alta Gracia. The single-storey home sits on a 20- by 50-metre property in the highlands, with views of both the city and the hills.
Argentinian studio STC Arquitectos has built a white house in La Hornilla
Córdoba firm STC Arquitectos conceived the 168-square-metre home as a flexible building that could adapt to the client's daily needs.
"The house can either be divided to remain isolated, connected to assemble, closed to ensure privacy, or open to enjoy the landscape and outdoor areas,? the architects said.
The home is wrapped in metal sheets The home is composed of a low-lying, rectangular box adjoined to a carport in the front and a covered terrace in the rear. The design allows for future expansions, either horizontally or vertically.
The main volume's structure is made of brick and reinforced concrete. The carport and patio are surrounded by white sheet metal affixed to a metal frame.
The entrance is on the east side of the building
Large stretches of glass provide transparency and usher in natural light.
The home is entered on the east, where a gently sloping ramp leads to the front door. The ramp forms part of a circulation path that runs through the home, onto the rear patio, and down a few steps to the backyard.
