Casa Camila
It is a rest house for a family of 5. The project is located on the slopes of Iztaccihuatl, on a plot of land surrounded by abundant nature, next to a ravine.

Hill Country House

Situated on a sweeping Texas Hill Country meadow, this private residence is defined by a series of jagged roof peaks inspired by the rise and fall of the surrounding hills. Lovingly referred to as “The Sanctuary” by its owners, an active couple of ordained ministers, and executed on a very modest budget, this modern take on the farmhouse vernacular is a place to bring people together and find spiritual renewal in a responsible, sustainable setting.
