This residence represents a conscious exercise in integrating architecture with the mountain. From the outset, the project was conceived by understanding the natural topography as the true starting point not as an obstacle to overcome, but as an essential condition that should guide every design decision.
The site, with its characteristic slopes and uneven terrain, invited us to develop an architecture that dialogues with its surroundings. The house rises 1.5 meters above sidewalk level, a gesture that not only responds to the topography but also allows the creation of a semi-underground level for service and storage areas. This operation enabled us to optimize land use while maintaining the formal purity and aesthetic integrity of the ensemble.
The main volume appears to be suspended over the mountain, strategically opening toward views of the city of Guadalajara. From the ground floor, the house is organized around a double-height space that emphasizes the main entrance and extends toward the social areas. The living and dining rooms merge visually and spatially with the rear garden, creating an almost imperceptible transition between interior and exterior. The large terrace acts as a habitable threshold that dissolves boundaries and allows light, air, and vegetation to become part of the domestic space.
On the upper level, the private area unfolds sheltered but not isolated. The openings have been carefully arranged to control views and ensure privacy without losing connection to the surrounding landscape.
Finally, the project culminates in a roof garden conceived as a space for contemplation and gathering. From there, the architecture opens completely to the horizon, offering a 360-degree experience over the valley and mountains. This upper terrace not only completes the project’s vertical journey but crowns it with a gesture that celebrates the relationship between dwelling and the natural environment.
This residence is, in essence, a synthesis of form, function, and territory: an architecture that listens to the land, respects its nature, and enhances its virtues reaffirming the conviction that the best architecture is that which is born from the place itself.
