HDJ 65
Centenario, Tijuana, Mexico
On a sloping site with a privileged view of the city, we designed a house for a young
family. The main design criteria was that every interior space would have a relation with
exterior space. To accomplish that, our approach was to integrate outdoor space at
every level of the house, be it a garden or terraces. Other spaces we would open up to
the exterior by extensive use of glass positioned to take advantage of the landscape
surrounding the site.
Since the site is an irregular triangle, we broke the house into two perpendicular wings
which surround the garden and open up towards the views. Because of the slope in the
terrain, we have a main vertical circulation core and the rest of the house is broken up
into split levels, creating an interesting flow of circulation within the program. On the first
level there is the public space composed by living room and dining room that open up
towards the pool. Half a level up is the kitchen and family room that connect to the
garden. After that is the private space where on one level is the main bedroom with its
own terrace and on another level the two daughters bedrooms. Finally, on the third level
is an office space and t.v. room with a terrace that has 270 degree views.
Another of our concerns was the materiality of the house, that is why we kept the palette
to a minimum. Using local materials like brick, combined with steel, glass and wood;
same materials found in local construction, but with a different use and interpretation.
