Cancelling boundaries between interior and exterior, Casa Romero by Romero de la Mora Architecture is inserted into nature, opening from end to end in a continuous flow of space that links to the Mexican Bajio beyond.
Furthering its connection to the environmental surroundings, the house is oriented to take the best advantage of the Mexican Bajío climate with cross-ventilation and lighting concepts carefully considered.
Throughout, the house makes use of materials that are local, simple, and offer good thermal properties. Examples include reinforced concrete, cement-sand block, pinewood and blacksmithing. A special element, the dining room table, was cast on-site.
The mineral selection of materials was conceived to achieve good ageing and at the same time minimize the maintenance of the house.
