Entre Pircas Suites defined by rural stone walls<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Entre Pircas Suites by Alarciaferrer Arquitectos add a contemporary architectural layer to a historic hotel<\/strong><\/a> in C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina<\/strong><\/a>. The site, formerly the summer residence<\/strong><\/a> of Argentine president J.A. Roca, is a rich historical landscape with 19th-century buildings, a park designed by Carlos Thays, and a majestic artificial lake. The suites draw inspiration from the region\u2019s characteristic \u2018pircas\u2019 \u2014 rural stone walls used to enclose land \u2014 creating a design deeply rooted in its time and place.<\/p>\n

rural traditions inform contemporary hotel expansion<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The design for the suites is defined by a series of seven wide, parallel stone walls, spaced five meters apart, that support an inclined wooden roof. To achieve this, the architects<\/strong><\/a> used a simple yet powerful geometric structure that adapts to the natural topography and existing trees of the site, ensuring that the suites are carefully positioned within the landscape. The use of stone and wood in the construction directly references the traditional rural buildings of the region, creating a strong sense of material and cultural continuity.<\/p>\n

Alarciaferrer Arquitectos create light-filled interiors<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each suite is designed with a thoughtful layout that maximizes space and natural light. The interior of each room is composed of a front entrance gallery, a bedroom, a light and ventilation patio, and a wet core with a bathroom and shower. The central patio is a key element, providing not only essential cross-ventilation and natural lighting but also serving as a spatial separator between the living area and the bathroom. Inside, the dividing stone walls are utilized to house storage and facilities, further optimizing the compact design.<\/p>\n
