Casa Real del Mar is located within a seaside development with
residences, a small hotel and its private golf course in Tijuana, BC, Mexico. The
site’s triangular shape was not the only challenge, since it was also formed by
a great steep, compelling to take important structural and design choices,
resulting in three floors, the first two levels being made of concrete and
acting as retaining wall, where a music studio was designed for the household
man, a musician and record producer.
Having a unique view towards the Pacific Ocean,
Casa Real del Mar was planned with forward-looking constraints from buildings
around the property, for example, the concrete wall that divides the space
between the main entrance-living room area and the garage space, standing-in as a view blocker. The main entrance embraces
a water-still mirror, accompanied by a small landscape area on the deck made of
wood, which goes all the way through the house into the backyard.
Following the development construction and
design restrictions, the third level, where the bedrooms are found, is built
with concrete block covered with a white smooth texture to blend in color with
the rest of the residences located in the estate, but still being distinctive
in its form and material usage, with its roof serving as an outdoor deck with
full ocean view.
