Casa Trigo emerges among mesquite trees that define the character of this site, located in a residential area of Querétaro. Designed for a family from Mexico City seeking a serene and functional retreat, the project took orientation and topography as its starting points, shaping a home that balances calm, materiality, and openness.

The house is composed of different volumes articulated through patios and gardens, responding to the irregularity of the terrain and taking advantage of it to generate smooth transitions between interior and exterior. This volumetric interplay—alternating solids and voids, shadows and openings—creates a dynamic experience and reinforces a sense of privacy inward, while opening controlled views toward the natural surroundings.

Natural materials—Salam wood, stone, and earth-toned plaster finishes—shape a warm atmosphere that contrasts with the sobriety of the façades. The entrance, marked by a wooden canopy, leads to a vestibule that opens toward the main garden, the social heart of the home.

Inside, exposed beams and large windows allow natural light and the landscape to accompany daily life. The living room, dining room, and kitchen maintain a visual connection with the exterior, generating a sense of spaciousness and continuity. Each bedroom was conceived with its own view toward a garden, reinforcing a sense of intimacy and connection with nature.

Through its architecture, Casa Trigo expresses a design that balances the functional and the sensory, transforming the experience of inhabiting into an act of calm, light, and rootedness in this still-present Querétaro landscape.
