Casas Tiro al Pichón is a residential project of two homes on a plot of over a 1,000 sqm. The volumes are rotated 30 degrees south, generating triangular patios that act as gardens. A seven meter monumental exposed concrete facade defines the exterior character, while the interior is marked by open spaces oriented toward the wooded landscape. Fully enclosed concrete volumes create a contemplative, almost museographic atmosphere, guiding a passage through light and shadow. The project integrates sustainable systems: solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and passive strategies.
