Rcubo-Tatakua House
과라니어로 타타쿠아는 불이 사는 동굴이라는 뜻이다. 이 장소는 점토오븐과 난로를 함께 있는 친구를 위한 만남의 장소로 사용되었다. 도시와 농촌이 서로 얽혀 있는 남부의 전형적인 특징을 가진 곳이기도 하다.
Tatakua in Guarani means the cave where fire lives. It is the clay oven, the stove, and the meeting place for friends. Located in Loma Merlo, a growing neighborhood in the metropolitan area of Asuncion, where urbanity and rurality intertwine and constitute a single landscape with typical characteristics of the global south.
A house for a young couple, where good food and the processes of food production constitute the center of family and social life, which as a fundamental requirement should include a basement accessible from the kitchen for food production and storage.
The house is implanted on a 27x14 plot within the clearings of the existing trees on the site, taking advantage of them as shade and focal points, generating internal and lateral courtyards. It consists of two blocks: one social and one private, connected by a vestibule to the north that functions as a thermal antechamber as it receives the most solar radiation.
The private block, towards the west front, houses the bedrooms with closets and wet cores on the facades that serve as air chambers. The social block, to the east, is conceptualized as an open hall; with the kitchen as the core, which extends to the east to a barbecue area that protects from the sun in summer.
