Casa Moya, located in Lomas de Chapultepec, Mexico City; It is a representative work of contemporary Mexican architecture and the handling of concrete.
The program of the house is distributed in 4 levels that explore the duality of the interior space with the exterior, dividing the program into private and social areas.
The clear volumetry, the materials and the vegetation manage to achieve a character of its own in each space. Echoing GOMA Taller de Arquitectura’s philosophy that each project needs to hav an implicit poetic geometry, the pigmented concrete, meticulous detailing and the iconic curved dome combine to radiate warmth and harmony.
The use of the curved dome as a central architectural element is a fundamental part of the spatial composition of the house, which allows breaking with the solidity of the volumes and providing transparency and permeability to the interior of the spaces.
