Cinco Casas makes modern life possible amid old-growth forest and exuberant greenery, and is strategically placed between the Valle de Bravo town center and the Avándaro Golf Club. Cinco Casas construction will conserve the greatest possible number of trees on its property.
The Complex
Cinco Casas is a horizontal condominium featuring private-access areas divided into five lots that total 7000 square meters—of which 5800 are greenspace. Each separate residence design and its constitutive elements—as well as the complex as a whole—generates a remarkable sense of privacy.
The Residences
Balance is a fundamental consideration, perceived between constructed space and nature; each residence’s privacy and its openness to the forest; and the light, open, yet solid and welcoming materials that make it up.
Each 300 square meter residence is divided into three principal areas:
1. Living Areas and Terrace are separated by sliding glass doors that allow spaces to be opened, shared and divided. Views look out to the forest.
2. Bedrooms maintain independence and may feature private terraces; the master bathroom includes a spectacular glass roof, privately nestled amid forest boughs.
3. Services Areas—kitchen, pantry, laundry room and servant’s quarters—are laid out in one volume.
Interior Courtyards additionally link separate spaces. Construction materials include wood, glass, steel and concrete. Planed walls contrast with wood-finished ceilings and steel encased picture windows.
