Casa Pinar is located in a wooded area of Zapopan, Jalisco. From its inception, the house was conceived as a subtle and respectful response to the surrounding natural context, embracing a contemporary architecture that engages the landscape through noble materials, clean lines, and an open spatial composition.
The project is carefully inserted into its site, allowing existing vegetation to become an integral part of the architectural experience. The façade articulates solid volumes with large openings, creating a rhythmic interplay between opacity and transparency. This alternation enables both visual and physical continuity between the interior of the house and its immediate natural surroundings, while also regulating privacy and daylight.
The use of materials such as wood and stone reinforces the connection to the landscape, while adding warmth and permanence to the project’s formal language. These elements are employed both indoors and outdoors, fostering aesthetic and sensory continuity throughout the house.
The interior of Casa Pinar is designed to maximize natural light and frame views toward the surrounding landscape. Social areas—living room, dining room, and kitchen—are organized in an open plan that encourages daily interaction and a continuous flow between spaces. In contrast, private areas are carefully arranged to ensure comfort, quietness, and retreat, balancing openness with intimacy.
Neutral finishes and warm textures reinforce the calm and welcoming atmosphere that defines the home. Every decision—from material selection to spatial orientation—responds to functional criteria as well as a desire to create a sensitive and meaningful experience of dwelling.
Casa Pinar expresses an architecture deeply committed to place, its users, and the environment. Through a contemporary, restrained, and conscious approach, the project merges aesthetics and functionality without losing sight of the emotional and contextual dimension of domestic space.
