Mendoza is an semideseric region located at the lowlands of the Andes mountains ( Mount Aconcagua). Very hot (40 degrees) in summer and cold in winter. This project, was solved by using entirely local poplar wood. We were able to achieve a very efficient solution project with a very low carbon emission record. A double facade worked as a natural climate control system, protecting the outer walls from harsh heat and sun rays in summer and working the other way around in winter. Containing interior heat dissipation to a minimum and as a shelter from snow. Poplar wood is in continuous evolution, either by market dynamics, as by the development of industrial technologies, it has a minimal discard,80% is used for the production of laminated wood, the remaining portion is destined to the production of particle boards, industrial packaging boxes for fruit and horticultural production and pulp for the production of biofuels. The relationship between strength and density is greater in wood than in steel: that is, it is a material that presents a good structural use. The Argentinean government has establish a successful tax free policy for the Poplar Industry,
