Upon arriving at this place, the landscape reveals itself with an intensity that is difficult to describe. The sea becomes an infinite horizon, while a portion of jungle occupies the site with an almost sacred presence. Light, flowers, stones, trees, and countless living beings come together to create an experience that already exists before architecture. Under these conditions, architecture could not be understood as an object independent from the landscape, but rather as a way of establishing a relationship with it. The response was to reduce architecture to its essential elements.A ground.A roof.A shadow.The house seeks the simplicity of una enramada—a simple shelter beneath a canopy. Not as an image of traditional architecture, bu... More

 The design of Work Lab Santander arises from the idea of creating an integral space where work unfolds organically while integrating essential human needs such as recreation, social interaction, and relaxation. It is a project where both team dynamics and spatial strategies can be continuously tested and reconfigured, with versatility and coexistence permeating every corner of these offices.With over 6,000 m² of surface area—including a rooftop—and 4.8 m in height, the new Santander offices allow users to experience the concept of work in multiple ways. Using acoustic criteria and usage mapping based on the activities carried out in each area, Work Lab Santander presents a semi-symmetrical, modulated, and reconfigurab... More

Casa Luz is an architectural and interior design intervention within an existing house in Oaxaca City. It reflects on how to inhabit space from a local perspective, without resorting to nostalgic or literal gestures. The proposal is grounded in a sensitive reading of its context, where materiality, light, and craftsmanship become the primary means of expression. Caption Amy Bello Amy Bello Rather than a radical transformation, the project begins by acknowledging the house’s pre-existing conditions, reconfiguring them through precise interventions that enhance both functionality and spatial quality. The incorporation of curved elements, the opening of visual connections, and the continuity between spaces create a more f... More

Tampico house is a project that seeks to bring a fragment of Tampico’s architectural memory into the context of Morelos through a contemporary reinterpretation of its most characteristic elements.  The project’s language is defined by a series of arches cast in pigmented concrete in a brick tone, evoking the traditional Tampico portico.  Andrés Cedillo This gesture not only establishes the formal identity of the house, but also introduces warmth and creates a soft transition between interior and exterior spaces, allowing for a constant connection with nature throughout the home.  Located in Jiutepec, Morelos, and developed on a 400 m² site with a built area of 180 m², the house responds dire...

Mount Zion has been, throughout history, a symbol of unity, strength, and gathering. Inspired by this profound meaning, this house takes its name as a reflection of what it seeks to be: a space where family comes together, grows, and is sustained. Casa Sion is a place where everyday life becomes shared memory, where every corner invites care, dialogue, and permanence. Raúl Hernández Studio The residence is located in Cuernavaca, Morelos. It comprises 320 m² of construction distributed over two levels, within an irregularly shaped lot of only 300 m². The layout seeks to make the most of every corner of the site, extending the main volume toward its wider side. This allows for a garden in the narrower area while... More

Located on a lot filled with large-scale trees, it is a mixed-use complex that arises from two essential premises: to conserve and emphasize all existing vegetation, and to integrate kindly into the pedestrian urban context. This is done without setting aside obtaining the maximum density permitted for the building. Manolo R Solis Manolo R Solis A project laid out on a modular and adjustable floor plan. The ground floor is configured through a free plan; it houses 6 commercial spaces, along with the main lobby of the building. The first and second levels, respecting the free plan structure, each contain 10 modular, adjustable offices, along with complementary services like common meeting rooms and restrooms. The third and fourt... More

Sometimes a location you walked past throughout your childhood—at times intriguing, at times barely noticeable—transforms into the canvas for a new home for a young family, situated on the edge of Mérida’s historical center. The project is based on an existing large, old house (casona). After the removal of deteriorated slabs and walls that were not part of the original structure, the house is divided into two wings: one within the remnants of the original structure, connected to the street, and the new wing, which integrates with the courtyard. Manolo R Solis Manolo R Solis Manolo R Solis The main entrance is positioned at the center of the first bay, through a semi-covered patio, where the door acc... More

A family home transformed into a sanctuary—a house for living. The project is based on a 1960s house, evolving into a home for contemporary life, a calm space for relaxation and enjoyment. The process began by clearing the pre-existing architectural program, eliminating unused spaces (a storage room, an intermediate room, and the entrance porch). Two interior courtyards were created to improve natural lighting and ventilation throughout the house. Manolo R Solis Manolo R Solis Manolo R Solis The master bedroom was expanded to accommodate a home-office space. To the north, a terrace was designed to serve as a transition between interior and exterior spaces, integrating the living-dining area and the master bedroom with... More

 Lore and Carlos are adventurous. That’s probably why, when they reached out to our office they did it with a lot that surely left us sleepless a couple nights. It is located in Mineral del Monte, Hidalgo, a wooded region, surrounded by mountains, cliffs and rock formations. The topography, though it is not an actual cliff, has such a pronounced slope that certainly feels like it. Embraced by trees and mist, the house that Lore and Carlos wanted, had to coexist with all of these. Caption This project presented itself with many interesting characteristics; one of them being that the land had access on its highest point (by the east) and on its lowest (by the south) and the rest of it being surrounded by woods. Also, towards... More

Robertet Mexico’s relocation from an industrial zone to a high-end corporate environment marks a significant moment in the company’s growth and cultural evolution.

The challenges of urban density and growth are inevitable in large metropolises, and Mexico City is no exception. Within this context, Iztapalapa stands out as the city’s largest borough in both area and population. Its territory combines commercial, industrial, and residential activities; however, corporate workspaces remain scarce. As a result, many residents face long daily commutes, with considerable effects on the economy, time, and overall quality of life. Recording Architecture - Paco Álvarez This project proposes an alternative relationship between context, architecture, and the dynamics of a work environment. The intervention began with the refurbishment of two adjacent abandoned houses, reconverted into a three-... More

Some houses are not designed—they are remembered. Casa Tao was not born from a technical drawing, but from the silent memory of those who inhabit it. It is a house that does not seek to respond to an image, but to a life. Or rather: to a way of living.  Gustavo grew up in a humble house made more of effort than of materials. The son of farmers and craft merchants—people with rough hands and generous eyes—who, though their studies were prematurely interrupted, managed to instill in him a desire to understand the world. He grew up in Puerto Vallarta, a place on the Pacific coast of Mexico, where sun and humidity define the rhythm of the days, and where shade is not an accident, but a precious asset—a true refuge....

Yoozoo is a contemporary bubble tea shop located in a colonial building, thoughtfully designed to offer a unique sensory journey. The contrast between the historic architecture and the minimalist intervention is accentuated by a softly lit polycarbonate tunnel that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Caption  Although compact, the space becomes a stage where modern aesthetics and functionality converge. From the street, its discreet façade stands out for its clean and orderly design, animated by a vibrant sign that attracts passers-by and invites them to discover what lies inside. Zaickz Moz    The tunnel itself is the heart of the establishment, here, customers are invited to intera... More
