Casa Soaré is a housing project extended over 160 m2, its main facade is oriented towards South. The construction has an easement in the front and back, since it is located within a private gated community. The project followed a standard architectural program to satisfy the needs of a family of two to five members at the request of the client, who wanted to obtain a house to rent. However, the project has aesthetic valuesachieved by the integration of the construction details.
The project is framed in a contemporary Mexican style of architecture, which seeks to exalt the honesty of the materials by integrating them into different construction elements. Interior and exterior walls are plastered with a sandy mix made on site, which harmonizes on the main façade with a quarry stone volume that frames the entrance to the house. The use of this material is repeated on the rear façade. In addition to the careful treatment of the color range, a fundamental element of the proposal is the use of vegetation, which sprouts on the façade from the quarry stone block to generate chromatic contrast, as well as a fresher and more natural environment.
The ironwork was designed by the architect, who arranged sills at varying angles on the windows to allow lighting, ventilation, a pleasant appearance and privacy. There is a similar arrangement in the staircase, where another input is presented in the iron railing.
A corridor leads from the entrance to the social area, there is a back courtyard with vegetation. At the right of the corridor, there is the guest bathroom and a vestibule that can be used as a media room. The presence of plants in this place is also important, it has a double-height dome, so it can work as an interior patio that improves ventilation and extraction of hot air from the house.
Inside the house, it was attempted to create comfortable and fresh spaces for the users. The living room, dining room and kitchen are in the same space of 3 meters height, and it is linked to the back patio through a large window. In turn, the kitchen communicates with the media room on the other side of the wall through a small window that allows you to look up to the garage.
A staircase at the entrance corridor leads to the upper floor, where a second corridor leads to the three bedrooms and the service area. The wooden skylight on the stairs receives natural lighting, and casts the shadows that move on the wall throughout the day. This rosa morada wood element is also featured in the living room and dining room, where the grooved shapes of a ceiling pergola add unity to the project.
