Niz House

Zapopan, Mexico

Project Featured on Feb 25, 2014
YEAR

SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
Niz House is on a trapezoid-shaped terrain with a very short front, large width, and one sloped face, breaking the orthogonal geometry of most projects of similar size.
While studying the possibilities, it is clear that the intersection of the sloped angle necessitates a complicated spatial breakdown and that is why a staircase is placed there. This allows the rest of the elements to naturally fall into place.

The terrain, with almost a floor-length gap from the street, allows an easy excavation for this garage with stairway entrance and service areas. Placing these stairs where the ground opens brought a spatial generosity for a dining and living room, the most important daytime site of the house. After climbing the stair, you reach the main entry where a bathroom and TV room are, and right next to those, the kitchen and dining-living room facing the garden that has become the main façade of Niz House.

On the top floor, the shortest space is for two small bedrooms and a studio next to the stairway. This subtly leads towards the master bedroom, which has a walk-in closet in a double-height space that reveals a tree top. This section, located where the greatest difficulty of the terrain once was, practically becomes the genesis of the ground plan, making it different from any other.

From the outside, the façade sharply reflects the easiness of interior plan, in which no tricks or contortions are made. Its transparency shows the exact alignment of design with the client’s and architect’s taste.
