Pilagás community center and craft house is located along a scenic road connecting Argentina with Paraguay. Its shape and materials make an eye-catching sight for travellers on the road.

The building follows a strict constructive grid of 975mm defined by the standard dimensions of the locally produced bricks – the clay is excavated and baked on site.

All the walls are built with solid bricks that improve comfort by increassing thermal mass. Ventilation is enhanced with the introduction of patios and openings in multiple directions.

Designed and built in collaboration with Architects Without Borders Norway.
