The 600m2 house is located in San Pedro, Garza Garcia Mexico. The design process followed a profound process of analysis and investigation. Part of this analysis included the use of the golden section to generate proportional and modular spaces.
The principal objective was to integrate the house to its natural context without making it the protagonist. The terrain has a significant amount as well as variety of trees. Amongst these there are several 50 year old walnuts that can be found on the southern part. A unique sense of connection to the environment within the city was achieved by combining the trees and the great open spaces surrounding the house with the view of the Sierra Madre Mountain on the north and the Mitras Mountain on the south.
The northern façade was designed as a great gallery of windows, which blurs the line between interior and exterior. This space is connected with the northern garden by a series of bridges, terraces and wooden decking walkways surrounded by trees.
The house exterior is covered with a stone stripe cladding made of national sandstone. In its interior, the floors are covered with a national kind travertine marble and the ceilings with walnut wood. The sum of all the design elements as well as the use of natural illumination offers a sense of tranquility, harmony, balance and proportion.
