Casa AR arises as a need for a resting place for weekends for the owner and her family visits. It is located in a new building area of low density next to the city of Funes, in the metropolitan area of Rosario. On a corner lot of 18m x 30m, with the long side facing north, the house is located at the back, consolidating a kind of built partition, with a blind facade to the south and permeable facade to the north. Due to the request for an enclosed program consisting of a bedroom, bathroom, living room with an integrated kitchen, gallery and a small warehouse, but with the possibility of future growth and a reduced budget, it is decided to opt for a compact project that optimizes the materials and economic resources to the maximum.

The house is configured as a rectangular strip of 4m x 18m with a small break on the southern circulation to enable connection to the future expansion. The aim is that all of the environments enjoy the best lighting and comfort conditions. In this search for constructive optimization, both executive and material, brick is chosen as an exclusive element, since due to its formal, structural, logistic, economic, aesthetic and maintenance qualities, it resolves multiple questions. A noble material that responds well to the climatic situations faced by an exempt house without medians or terraced constructions in an open lot with little vegetation.
