Casa Caballete by Urzúa Soler Arquitectos: a home for Uruguay’s rural workers

Casa Caballete, designed by Urzúa Soler Arquitectos, is a new home concept aimed at Uruguay’s rural workers. The design combines modular prefabrication with vernacular elements to create functional and affordable housing. This architectural feature was published in October 2025.

This project matters as it addresses housing needs for rural communities in Uruguay, improving living conditions and supporting local workers. It reflects a growing interest in sustainable and context-sensitive architecture.

The development of such homes could inspire further innovation in rural housing solutions and contribute to social equity. It also showcases Uruguay’s architectural creativity on an international platform.
