Casa Piedras is a residential architectural project located in Yacanto, San Javier, Córdoba, designed by architect Paul Dragicevic of Arqdpaul. The houses are built on a steep slope, maximizing stunning views of the Altas Cumbres to the east and the Sierras Chicas to the west. This site-specific design approach ensures that the homes harmonize with the landscape while addressing topographical challenges, which is a recurring theme in the architect’s work in the Traslasierra area.

The unique design features cantilevered floating slabs that appear to hover over the terrain, touching the ground at carefully selected points to minimize environmental disruption and preserve the existing vegetation. The strategic placement of the homes allows for optimized views and reduced ground impact, illustrating a thoughtful blend of architecture and nature. This innovative approach showcases a contemporary architectural philosophy that prioritizes ecological responsibility and aesthetic integration.

Overall, Casa Piedras signifies a modern architectural response to natural landscapes in Argentina, emphasizing sustainability and visual connectivity with its surroundings. The project not only serves as a residence but also as a testament to the possibilities of contemporary design in harmony with the environment, reflecting an increasing trend in architecture that seeks to respect and enhance the natural world.
