Caja Obscura house in Asunción, Paraguay, by Javier Corvalán

With Javier Corvalán, 2013. Commissioned by Domus Magazine.

For domus 968 (April 2013), I visited Javier Corvalán's Caja Oscura, in a rural area near Asunción, Paraguay. A house that has a simple and ingenious mechanism for its uncovering: a concealed volume that dynamically opens to the landscape.
