CABAÑA TARIMORO
A house designed for retirement and rest. Located in Tarimoro, Guanajuato, Mexico.To reduce the environmental impact of the work was selected stone materials from the region and methods such as "cob" for interiors and exteriors. Some eco-technologies were also proposed: the treatment of gray water and a dry bath to promote sustainability and autonomy.Due to its isolated location, the privacy and security of its users are the indispensable elements of the architectural design of this project; for this reason, the elements that compose it are closed and its main access is not very striking.Architectonic programGarageDry bathDressing tableMain roomGuest roomDining roomKitchenWashing AreaTerraceCUT X-X '1.
