Edificio Valois demonstrates how traditional materials like rammed earth can be reimagined for contemporary urban living through gentle integration with the surroundings, local craftsmanship, and climate-responsive strategies. Built on a narrow plot, the building integrates with the tones and greenery of its surroundings. Apartments are arranged on either side of a central staircase while native plants cover the façade, filtering sunlight, enhancing natural light and ventilation, and moderating the subtropical heat of Asunción.
