2015年，德国建筑师Arno Brandlhuber以其概念驱动的混凝土结构而闻名，他在乌拉圭的Rocha镇完成了一个堆叠的贝顿野生杰作。
Rocha镇位于大西洋沿岸的埃斯特角城以北仅一小时车程，在夏季人口从3000人增加到30,000人以上。在这里，Brandlhuber创建了一个三层楼的建筑，作为四个方向模块的第一个工作实例; 他的工作室在过去十年中一直在发展的建筑类型。该模块提出了一种根据太阳定位房屋元素的建筑类型。该概念指出，在北半球，东/西方向是生活空间的最佳选择; 早晨和傍晚的阳光，而南北方向最适合工作空间。
在Rocha房屋中，这是通过将房屋的元素堆叠成三个垂直层来实现的。灵活的设计允许空间用作单一的海滩别墅，或三个独立的单元。虽然所有空间都有相似的平方计量，但它们的设计目的是以不同的方式使用。“例如”，工作室解释说，“一个空间有一个大厨房，而第二个只有几个燃烧器，第三个只有一个户外烧烤”。这为居住者提供了不同的生活方式选择; “以这种方式”，工作室声明继续说，“房子建议了各种可能的用途，例如访问的朋友或暂时缩小规模以租用给其他单位。”

Known for his concept-driven concrete constructions, in 2015 German architect Arno Brandlhuber completed a stacked béton brut masterpiece in the town of Rocha in Uruguay.
Just an hour north of Punta del Este on the Atlantic coast, the town of Rocha has a population that swells from 3000 to above 30,000 during summer. Here, Brandlhuber has created a three-story building that stands as the first working example of the four directions module; a building typology that his studio has been developing for the past decade. The module proposes a construction type that positions elements of the house according to the sun. The concept notes that in the Northern Hemisphere, east/west orientation is the best for living spaces; with morning and evening sun, while north/south orientation is best for working spaces.
In the Rocha house this is achieved by stacking the elements of the house in three perpendicular layers; the flexible design allowing the space to be used as a single beach villa, or three separate units. While all units share similar square meterage, they have been designed to be used in different ways. “For example”, the studio explains, “one unit has a large kitchen, while the second just has a few burners and the third only has an outdoor grill”. This offers different lifestyle options for the occupants; “In this way”, the studio statement continues, “the house suggests a variety of possible uses, such as hosting a visiting friend or temporarily downsizing to rent out the other units.”
