CPD ESTUDIO has completed a private residence with corten steel volume in Córdoba Capital, Argentina. Named Casa Francia or House Francia, the 260-square-metre building was designed as a low-rise structure combining different types of volumes with white and corten steel volume.

"It could not be otherwise, it had to be the project's star. We think of a house that accompanies, without competing," said CPD ESTUDIO. 

The studio worked with the orientations and the location of the tree to connect them and ensure that they live respecting and empowering each other. 

They created a harmonic volume, all on the ground floor. The facade with simple morphologies and contrasts of materialities. The idea was always to highlight the carob tree, but the studio could not leave it alone, so the architects combined materials and refined the details in each element that made up this composition.
