The Chorizo House is one of the Buenos Aires’s most common typologies. Mostly developed at the beginning of the 20th century they are defined by an exterior corridor that distributed a series of separate rooms in enfilade. Each of the rooms houses a specific function and organized the lives of the immigrants that arrived by masses during the 1900s. When we were asked to destroy and old Casa Chorizo to build a new house, we proposed to keep the house structure and make architecture by subtracting material, not driven by a nostalgic desire of preservation but with the positivist intention to transcend its spatial qualities.
