Casa Almonacid is a single-family home located in Jauja, Peru, conceived as an intergenerational meeting space that responds both to the daily dynamics of its inhabitants and to the cultural context of the place. The project unfolds over two levels plus a roof garden, integrating functionality, formal sobriety, and architecture designed to adapt to the festive and family traditions of the region.

The architectural proposal is based on the pursuit of beauty in simplicity, with an intentional selection of honest materials and simple finishes that reinforce the project’s identity without resorting to superfluous ornamentation. Each construction element follows a functional and aesthetic logic, creating warm, accessible, and durable spaces.

The social areas are arranged to encourage family interaction, especially during the town’s traditional festivities, when the house transforms into a gathering hub for the entire family. The roof garden, crowning the building’s volume, offers an open space for contemplation, celebration, and socializing. Casa Almonacid not only fulfills a residential program, but also proposes a sober, functional architecture designed to create new memories.
