Casa Mirari proposes an architectural approach in which curiosity and a playfulness enrich the everyday experience of inhabitation. The project is located between the cities of Puebla and Cholula, in a temperate climate with summer rainfall of the Mexican central highlands. The clients, a middle-aged couple who regularly work in a home-office environment, requested a simple and flexible architectural program capable of accommodating both daily living and visits from their adult children throughout the year. Another key requirement was to achieve a sense of privacy without completely isolating the house from its surroundings.
In response, the design strategy focused on creating a diverse series of openings that do not fully expose the interior, but rather frame relationships between inside and outside in different ways. Formally, the project incorporates curved walls and circular windows which, in combination with orthogonal geometries, establish pauses, rhythms, and a particular way of perceiving both the exterior and interior spaces of the house. This notion of “looking through” is reinforced by the spatial sequences experienced while moving through the project, subtly introducing a playful dimension to the act of dwelling.
While the proposed circulation paths and openings enrich everyday spatial experience, the material palette creates a relaxed atmosphere and establishes visual hierarchies. The upper portion of the main façade is clad with textured ochre-colored concrete tiles, intended to create a tactile surface that emphasizes the upper volume while contrasting with the neighboring constructions. To generate an atmosphere of serenity, the brick walls were plastered and painted in warm tones. As for the flooring, porcelain tiles in shades ranging from brown to gray were installed in the public areas, while oak wood floors were installed in the private areas. The woodwork was crafted from oak treated with natural oils in light stains.
The resulting house achieves an intimate and harmonious atmosphere while subtly and almost imperceptibly proposing a way of understanding and experiencing the spatial relationships generated through its own architectural construction.
