Esteras Perrote Studio’s PSJ Project, a refurbishment located in Córdoba, Argentina, is a 40-square-meter tribute to silence, respect, and simplicity. Transcending conventional architecture, the project offers a reflective journey that harmonizes the built and natural environment.
The centerpiece, a ‘white box,’ acts as a metaphorical connector, disrupting and emptying space to create a place of identity. With a symbolic intersection that creates a ‘hole in the sky,’ this architecture project articulates the meeting point between sky and Earth, life and death. The PSJ Project redefines the relationship between architecture and its surroundings, creating a quiet masterpiece that resonates with past, present, and future narratives.

Project Description by the Architects
A small tribute to silence, respect, and simplicity,
which, when transformed into architecture,
becomes the context and pretext for honoring life,
memory, and the journey taken.
To traverse, as synthesis,
a remembrance of life,
a step on the Earth,
a sidereal encounter.
The arrival,
a pathway.
The place,
a square, a resting place under the aguaribay tree.
In the background,
a white box,
a silence.
The idea:
To traverse it,
to connect the square.
To break the space,
to empty it.
To transform it,
to make it a motive,
or the idea an excuse,
a place,
with identity.
White box,
a reflective place,
in contact with nature.
A hole in the sky,
an intersection like a cross,
thus deducing
the point of encounter between the sky and the Earth,
between life and death.
