Casa San Angel
Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico
Project of the Day on Jan 29, 2026
Project Featured on Jan 29, 2026
Casa San Ángel is a residential project situated on a rectangular plot in Querétaro, defined by a narrow frontage that engages with a distinctly urban context—one that gradually dissolves and vanishes toward the heart of the site. The program is complex in its subtle balance between spatial simplicity and contextual sensitivity, sharing the site with several mature trees, including a prominent black sapote that rises from a gently preserved topography.
Several key elements informed the conceptualisation of the project:
Foremost was the intention to establish a fluid yet functional connection between the interior and the adjoining courtyard, enabling an open, continuous floor plan. Another central objective was to ensure natural light and cross-ventilation throughout the entire house. This led to the decision to develop most of the programme around the central portion of the plot, allowing the patio to become the primary source of light for every room.
A distinctive green mosaic tile defines the flooring and guides the path toward the central courtyard. A large sliding glass wall connects the main social areas of the house—living room, dining area, and kitchen—enabling these spaces to remain open well into the evening, thanks to Querétaro’s temperate climate. This seamless integration creates a unified living experience, where spatial transitions are subtly moderated by the operable façade and its visual dialogue with the central fountain.
The house extends to the property lines, painted in a sky-hued blue that blends gently with the sky above. Exposed concrete brings compositional clarity, providing a quiet backdrop for the vertical rhythm of hand-placed terracotta quarter-brick slabs. This rigorous order is softened by the organic presence of vegetation and eclectic decorative elements.
On the large grey sofa rest Colado, Trazo, and Mai—the family’s pets—perfectly at ease. In the distance, the sound of neighbouring cats echoes. They rush up the concrete staircase, through the semicircular arch that frames a small study and library, across the corridors, the terrace, and other walkways, tracing a full circuit around the house.
