In Mexico, few places have as distinct a constructive identity as Guanajuato, mirrored in its architecture, utensils, aqueducts, and legends, including the Pípila hero. This region's deep connection with stone profoundly influences its cultural expressions.
The design of this small house, chosen for its natural integration, benefited from local materials and skilled labor, fostering a respectful dialogue with the environment. The house's layout is based on a cruciform plan, dividing the space into four quadrants with stone alleys, each assigned a distinct "vocation".
The first quadrant, welcoming the inhabitants, features an endemic garden that reinforces and shelters life. The second quadrant, shaded by trees, accommodates cars, shielded by a long stone wall that also highlights the mountain's horizon. The third quadrant houses a one-bedroom space, where public and private areas are separated by a multifunctional volume. Finally, the office in the fourth quadrant stands out vertically, contrasting the landscape's horizontality and echoing the iconic Santa Brígida mine in Mineral de Pozos.
This spatial arrangement necessitates continuous movement, immersing the inhabitants in nature, reminiscent of an ancient monastery, and seamlessly integrating the landscape into its design.
