VVS House by MCL Studio: Brutalist Portico in Córdoba Golf Course

architecture-design · 2026-07-09

The VVS House, designed by Juan Micieli and completed in 2022, spans 1,000 square meters and is situated in a lush, low-density neighborhood in Córdoba, Argentina, overlooking a golf course. The structure draws inspiration from traditional portico architecture and Paulista school Brutalism, embodying the idea that it is meant to be inhabited rather than just a supporting structure. Photographs capturing the design were taken by Gonzalo Viramonte. The project was developed by MCL Studio and has been featured in ArchDaily.
