Casa Paracaima
Sierra Paracaima, Ciudad de México, Mexico
Casa
Paracaima is a private residence located in México City, completed in 2008. The
360m2 house consists of two concrete volumes.
The site
is 400m2 and has a number of restrictions on the sides and the front. We used
these restrictions to give shape to the house always searching for the maximum
amount of open areas and good orientation. This gave us a project that consists
of two intersecting volumes: the first volume consists of a large, structural,
concrete arch, 25 cm thick by 7.5 m wide, which carries the second volume. This
first volume contains the main open area with an open terrace and the roof
covering at 7.5 m high on one side, and the other side holds the library.
The wood
used to pour the concrete was used again for some of the woodwork inside the
house, such as the doors.
The
second volume, in contrast with the big arch, is considerably more closed and
contains all the private areas of the house
