The house is
located in an irregular land with the best orientation, facing north-south. It’s
a sequence of spaces that goes through the public to private. The house is an
architectural promenade that allows to discover each space, all of them are
related with the exterior. The rooms facing north side are those that required
sunlight and facing south those rooms that need privacy.
Walking
through the garden leads to a platform, at the reduced corner the land and the
house become an open space until the path’s end where there is a stairs that
raise up to the second floor, at this point appears in the opposite way the
same promenade. Small spaces down stairs are able to transform public into
private or merge into a big social area.
A long hall naturally
illuminated in the second floor, takes place to organize the bedrooms that
depending in their location are able to face La Sierra Madre or El Cerro de las
Mitras view, reaching ventilated and illuminated spaces. There is a
multipurpose room at the second floor’s beginning where kids are able to
socialize and do the school work, a bridge that connect to the bedrooms
separate the spaces creating privacy on them.
Analyzing
views, working with the context’s natural conditions, creating spaces that go from
public to private, make the house an amazing composition of plans, volumes,
solids and gaps along the land.
