The setting is defined by semi-arid mountain terrain, where steep foothills mark the transition between the valley and the Sierras Chicas. From its elevated plateau, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/residential-architecture-interiors\/\"><strong>home<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0takes full advantage of the panoramic views, aligning its orientation toward the northwest.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The topography plays a decisive role in how the dwelling is positioned.

The ground floor is conceived as a solid plinth built from cyclopean concrete walls. These heavy, stone-filled walls hold the more functional spaces: guest rooms, a workshop, service areas, and the garage. From here, the main entrance also connects to a terrace that extends outward, linking this grounded base to the surrounding terrain.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This first level establishes a sense of permanence. The thick walls both anchor the house and echo the geological formations of the region, creating a tactile dialogue between construction and site.<\/p>\n<p>House on El Drag\u00f3n is set on a plateau in C\u00f3rdoba\u2019s Punilla Valley<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">cristian nanzer\u2019s precise and durable architecture<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Above the stone base, the upper floor of Estudio Cristian Nanzer\u2019s House on El Drag\u00f3n is defined by an exposed concrete frame. Organized around a modular grid, the structure makes legible the hierarchy of spaces. Six-meter spans accommodate the open living and social areas, while the three-meter modules define the private rooms. A large entrance hall separates these two zones and frames views to the south as one enters from the main access.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cantilevered slabs extend the upper volume outward, forming galleries around the perimeter on every side except the southern facade. Here, the linear circulation runs along the length of the house, buffered by a suspended partition that filters light and punctuates the wall with three large openings. These framed views act as controlled apertures, allowing the southern corridor to register the movement of daylight overhead while maintaining its protective enclosure.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the ground floor is built of cyclopean stone concrete walls<\/p>\n<p>the upper floor is an exposed concrete structure supported by a modular grid<\/p>\n<p>six-meter spans define the social areas while private zones use three meter modules<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>cantilevered galleries extend around the perimeter of the house<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>stone and concrete unify the material palette throughout the project<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a southern circulation corridor filters light through suspended partitions<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name: <\/strong>House on Cerro El Drag\u00f3n<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cristiannanzer.ar\/\">Estudio Cristian Nanzer<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cristian.nanzer\/\">@cristian.nanzer<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>Punilla Valley, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina<\/p>\n<p><strong>area:<\/strong> 530 square meters<\/p>\n<p><strong>completion:\u00a0<\/strong>2022<\/p>\n<p>photography:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gonzaloviramonte\/\">Gonzalo Viramonte<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gonzaloviramonte\/\">@gonzaloviramonte<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>lead architect:\u00a0<\/strong>Cristian Lanzer<\/p>\n<p><strong>technical direction:<\/strong> Cristi\u00e1n Nanzer, Ricardo Tesoreiro<br \/>\n<strong>collaborators:<\/strong> Lourdes Cuadro, Juan Dimuro<br \/>\n<strong>structural engineer:<\/strong> Edgar Mor\u00e1n<br \/>\n<strong>construction management:<\/strong> Ricardo Tesoreiro<br \/>\n<strong>builder:<\/strong> Juan Pacheco<br \/>\n<strong>electrical installations:<\/strong> Gabriel Canelo<br \/>\n<strong>carpentry:<\/strong> Urbantek Company \/ urbantek.com.ar<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/cristian-nanzer-house-dragon-cyclopean-stone-argentina-gonzalo-viramonte-08-23-2025\/\">cristian nanzer\u2019s house on el drag\u00f3n rises from cyclopean stone base in argentina<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>house on el drag\u00f3n: a dwelling perched on a hill \u00a0 The House on El Drag\u00f3n by Estudio Cristian Nanzer is located in the Punilla Valley of C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina, near Cerro El Drag\u00f3n between the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
