CCE House

#1_ SITE The project is situated in Chacras de Coria, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, within a semi-urban setting of low-rise housing, vineyards and poplar trees that defines the cultural landscape of the Greater Mendoza foothills. The house — 170 m² developed on a single level — emerges from the desire to create an introverted refuge that engages with its context through a logic of containment and controlled openness. The condition of the plot boundary is resolved by a continuous perimeter wall of exposed reinforced concrete that runs the full length of the building line. The texture of the concrete, with its visible formwork marks, lends the ensemble an honest, quiet and austere material presence towards the street. Acce... More

Casa Cerros

The clients, a young family, commissioned a comfortable house for four habitants that was functional, safe, luminous and unique in the area; but also demanded a low-cost and low maintenance home. The challenge was to accomplish this in a site with a limited surface (102m2, 6x17m), rugged topography and preexistent urban elements (trees, light posts and a telephone facilities box) that can’t be affected during the construction. The above limited the functional and morphological approach of the project. The site is located in a peripheral hill area of the city of Zacatecas, Mexico; inside an open middle-class neighborhood full of generic houses. Due to the neighborhood situation, the clients wanted a house that reflects safety from outs... More

Casa Green Heart

The design concept of this room house is to create habitability from a central garden that allows general lighting and ventilation of all common and private areas, as a reinterpretation of what were the courtyards in the haciendas. In this project a space was created inside / outside that would give us the feeling of spaciousness becoming a protagonist from the projection of lights and shadows of the pergolate towards the different continuous spaces, seeking to be an extension of them, giving rhythm to this green heart, being equally part of the interior facade of the house. Emotions generated through light, color and Volhumen. More
