The Cuernavaca Residence is the latest addition to an evolving two-acre family compound shared by the client and her sister. Nestled within a wooded lot, the home forms a deliberate ensemble with an existing pool house, whose board-formed concrete walls establish the material language for the new residence. Designed for a family of five, the house includes two home offices and is composed of a restrained palette: rift-sawn oak, mill-finished steel, galvanized metal panels, and concrete—each material alternating in orientation and pattern to create richness and visual rhythm.
The house threads between the existing pool house and a majestic Live Oak, subtly defining distinct zones across the property. Framed views extend east to the limestone shelf of the Colorado River, north to a rolling meadow, and west to a grove of oaks and the shared pool house. A double-height porch with an outdoor fireplace acts as an open-air family room, while a rooftop deck on the second floor captures constant breezes and expansive views to the cliffs beyond.
Attuned to the nuances of its landscape, the residence invites continuous engagement with the surrounding terrain. As the family moves through the home, the architecture offers incidental moments of connection—studiously revealing the broader context of the land it inhabits.
