Visit the Tranquil and Remarkable Rain Harvest Home in the Mountains of Mexico

Architizer Editors Architizer Editors

Rain Harvest Home (La Casa que Cosecha Lluvia) by Robert Hutchison Architecture & JSa Arquitectura is a humble, tripartite home in the mountains west of Mexico City that integrates with the landscape and the site’s natural cycles to offer an experiential connection to the place. Living functions are dispersed into three porous wood buildings that sit gently in the landscape, with bathing and study dedicated to compact structures separate from the main living pavilion. All three buildings collect rainwater and connect to a reservoir and on-site treatment and storage system that supplies 100% of the home’s water year-round.
