The situation of the Campo de la Verdad in the city of Cordoba, next to the Roman Bridge and in the surroundings of the Calahorra Tower, is understood not only in relation to the local fabric but also to the new strategic situation it occupies after the recent transformations in the city.

The urban planning constraints led to a typological recreation based on the definition of massive facades that contrast with interiors around courtyards. The project interprets these regulations with the desire to evoke familiar situations in our culture: the hallway as a transition between the public and the private; the contrast between the street and the calm atmosphere of the courtyard; the heavy facades that protect us from the harsh climate; or a certain materiality derived from construction using traditional systems.

The program consists of 14 apartments with access from a common courtyard. The building appears on the outside, massive and protective, while on the inside it increases its intimacy by establishing a relationship of continuity with the neighborhood. In the courtyard, an ornamental railing with an almost textile quality resonates with images of popular culture. Washed Chinese, natural stone, lime mortar, wood, water and plants complete the materiality of the work, intoned to produce a pleasant atmosphere, familiar and strange at the same time. Tension between tradition and contemporaneity that unites all the decisions of the project.
