Casa Amona

Amona House is located on an urban plot in San Cristóbal de las Casas, adjacent to the Cerrito de San Cristóbal — a wooded hill with public trails that serves as one of the city's primary green lungs. The project draws from the logic of the local urban fabric, maintaining a contained relationship to the street while opening inward toward the plot. Rather than privileging a single orientation, the house establishes layered spatial relationships where outward views coexist with internal ones, producing a spatial experience that shifts with level, use, and time of day.

Cempasúchil Pavilion

The pavilion emerged from the need to create a temporary structure capable of providing shade and shelter over a four-day period. Conceived as a place for gathering, it is organized around a single shared table where different groups of people meet throughout the day, encouraging informal encounters and collective occupation. Beyond its functional requirements, the project explores architecture as a temporary act of spatial organization.

Morada de Piedra

Located at the foot of an imposing crag in the Barrio de San Juan, Malinalco, a region known for its lush vegetation and unique landscapes, the house takes full advantage of the singular views, harmoniously integrating both the natural surroundings and the existing country house, enhancing the connection between the inhabited space and the surrounding landscape. Ariadna Polo Ariadna Polo Ariadna Polo The project follows the "Soft Loft" concept, a continuous space that promotes an open, fluid, and flexible living experience. The open layout of the space highlights freedom of movement, maximizing the sense of spaciousness through high ceilings and large windows that frame the landscape and allow for a deep visual and physical...

Casa TOME

TOME house does not respond to the archetype of common housing. Its irregular shaped terrain, spatial program and distribution combine to create a unique project, far from the common requirements, a design made by designers, for designers. Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello The design seeks to generate an experience of absolute and continuous contact with the outside when inside the house, while maintaining total facade privacy. Its simple, sober and modular volumes intersect with green patios which provide every space with natural light, ventilation and unique perspectives. Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello The single-level design responds to the idea of cre... More

Casa Gotarrendura

Casa Gotarrendura is developed within an ecological residential complex, surrounded by more than 1200 hectares of forest. The single-family house project is based on the premise of fully respecting the existing vegetation, making it part of the project and a crucial element throughout the entire house. Amy Bello Amy Bello Exterior-wise, the house is characterized by a game between volumes and materials, where regional travertine marble harmonizes perfectly with the neutral and sober tones, while wood and steel bring contrast and emphasize key elements such as the entrance vestibule or the terraces on the upper floor. Amy Bello Amy Bello Amy Bello The project develops around a central patio, originated by an existi... More

GIULIA House

This housing project obeys in the first instance the construct that we understand as architecture, to say: the architectural program (dynamics), the use of space (the practical use of space), habitability, habitat (the place in a broad vision ) and the atmosphere of space (what is perceived in space).With this vision of how to build the space, we can mention two important elements.One attends to the optimization of space, achieving that a property measuring 6.5 m wide by 18.5 m deep, can provide larger areas than what is conventionally established. This is achieved by means of a reduced number of walls as well as a dense and compact arrangement of the same.The other element is materiality, to which it responds both to the habitat and the at...

Bacatete House

This project is governed by the idea of creating an urban home that transports you to a different place, away from the city, through a sensory experience. With this objective, we created an environment inside the property in which both the house and the outdoor spaces coexist and permeate the indoor-outdoor relationship. This was achieved by designing gardens that surround the house and create paths between nature and the building materials themselves, such as wood, stone, exposed concrete, carbon steel plate and glass. In this way, the outdoor paths, which although they are simple due to the property’s dimensions, delineate a shift away from the city. We used different materials with rich, warm, and primitive textures for the exterio... More
