The Colegio de Ingenieros Agrónomos owns a property in the heart of Moravia offering its members sports, recreational, and event facilities. The main building sits on a small hill at the southwest edge of the grounds, opening visually over the green areas below — architecture that, true to Beer’s recurring idea, emerges from the landscape rather than sitting upon it.

The hillside slopes become integral to the building: stone cladding ascends the talud, transitions into the building’s walls, and continues upward as vertical mass — the same stereotomic logic present in Ocotal, where the base is inseparable from the earth it grows from. Access happens in two ways, a duality that is essential to the experience of the project: an organic exterior stair carved heavily into the terrain, or an interior vestibule subtracted from the base leading to a lightweight steel stair where the treads suspend from the balustrade. The same building, two entirely different spatial and material registers.

The main program is an events hall enclosed between stone and glass walls, protected by a highly articulated timber and steel roof. Steel appears only as the connective element between the two dominant materials, but its red color gives it a spatial presence and a mnemonic charge disproportionate to its structural role. A spiral stair acts as vertical counterpoint to the intentionally horizontal building — its ascent through a cylinder lit only by a small circular skylight, followed by passage through a low oval tunnel that requires you to stoop before entering the mezzanine, gives the upper level an almost forbidden quality, sacred even, that the main hall below does not prepare you for.

The large roof conceals a third floor of offices, revealed only by elongated windows composed within the roof plane. The timber structure extends laterally beyond the building’s edges, binding the heavy base and the light canopy into a single continuous gesture toward the landscape.
