Casa Clausura, designed by Agustín Lozada in Mendiolaza, Argentina, challenges typical suburban development through its restrained architectural approach. The residence is placed on the flattest area of the site, allowing a pre-existing mound to dictate its elevation. The house’s orientation towards the northeast ensures privacy and soft light, avoiding the harsh afternoon sun. A central courtyard, surrounded by glazed openings, serves as a communal space, blending indoor and outdoor experiences, which reflects common rural architectural practices in Argentina. The garage's discreet placement further enhances the home's subdued character.
Casa Clausura exemplifies a departure from typical suburban design, prioritizing a retreat from the common visual clutter through strategic orientation and landscaping.
The central courtyard serves as a gathering space, facilitating interaction while providing shelter from the elements, with full-height glazing that merges indoor and outdoor areas.
