Entre Pircas Suites by Alarciaferrer Arquitectos add a contemporary architectural layer to a historic hotel in Córdoba, Argentina. The site, formerly the summer residence 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's characteristic 'pircas' - rural stone walls used to enclose land - creating a design deeply rooted in its time and place.
