Hache House 01 by Studio Brava is a house that is located on land surrounded by a eucalyptus forest, in the city of Jesús María, located about 50 kilometres from the city of Córdoba in Argentina. The house contrasts with the environment in which it is located due to its colour and texture.

The house stands out especially for its dimensions and morphology, in relation to its neighbours who are more traditional and classic. The project was developed to stand out from all angles.

The floor plan of the Casa Hache 01 home by Studio Brava is H-shaped with the access positioned at the nexus between the most social and private areas, located in the centre of the main façade with a large opening that allows crossed views to observe the centre courtyard.

The exterior of the construction is completely clad in exposed brick arranged in such a way that the envelope acquires a special role. The pieces were made by local artisans with careful quality control. The arrangement of the bricks achieves a three-dimensional envelope activated by the play of light and shadow from the sun on the wall.

Description of project by Studio Brava

This house is in Jesús María, a city located about 50km from Córdoba Capital, on a land surrounded by a Eucalyptus forest.

Designed on a single level as an H, in a unique environment, this mass of bricks emerges from the traditional and classic buildings that surround it. 

Only on one of its sides would it border a neighbor, so the project was designed to look 360 degrees. 

A concrete, logical and functional project. The entrance is located in the center of the main facade, with a large opening that allows one to see the central courtyard, confusing the exterior with the interior. Yes, the brick wall crosses the entire house and encases the green heart that faces the gallery, a gallery designed to open completely and definitively erase that interior/exterior limit.

The entrance hall becomes the nexus between the private sector and the social sector, the latter being differentiated by the high height of its concrete ceiling.

The exterior of the house is completely covered with perfectly shaped bricks. Local artisans were in charge of manufacturing them. Each block went through quality control before joining these facades that are the real protagonists of the project. Altogether, they display a harmonious and friendly movement. 

The sunlight throughout the day generates different games of Lights and shadows that make the sensations change, as in an immersive work of art.

With a modern industrial style, this 270-square-meter house offers a relaxed lifestyle, with noble and local materials that allow you to enjoy it with zero maintenance.
