A Contemporary Refuge in León | Gálvez House by Estudio Villagálvez
Amidst the urban dynamism of León, Guanajuato, a house emerges that chooses tranquility over noise, shade over excess, and contemplation over immediacy. Gálvez House, designed by Estudio Villagálvez under the direction of Christian Mauricio Villanueva Gálvez, stands as an architectural response to a saturated context, where the green landscape—scarce yet essential—becomes the starting point for a profoundly human spatial narrative.

Rebuilding connections: participatory architecture as an immediate response | Chacras Project by Natura Futura Arquitectura
Amid this fragile situation, an intervention emerged that, beyond addressing the housing emergency, explored the role of architecture as an engine for social reconstruction and rebuilding. Built in just ten days in the province of El Oro, the Chacras project—this 30m² house—became a refuge and starting point for Don Velfor and his family, who found in this new space not only a roof over their heads, but also the opportunity to rebuild bonds, a sense of belonging, and hope.

From a ruined house to a respectful space | House Frugoni by Estudio Cabrera Arquitectura
The housing unit closest to the street retains greater independence; it is a duplex ideal for a small family. On the other hand, the internal units are ideal for a couple, regaining privacy through the set of openings that open onto the internal courtyard. This segmentation of housing is achieved by combining lightweight materials on traditional structures, reducing environmental impact and demolition costs; similarly, making ingenious use of the usable area.

The Butantã House | Between Concrete and Community: Domestic Architecture in the Work of Mendes da Rocha
The Butantã House, designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 1964, embodies a synthesis between concrete as a material and a social conception of domestic space. Framed within the Brazilian brutalist movement—particularly in its São Paulo iteration—this work becomes an architectural manifesto where the apparent structure, functionality, and openness to the environment dialogue with ideas of collectivity.
