Casa Chihuahua – Modern House Design for Extreme Different Temperature

Here’s the private house in Chihuahua, this house especially designed to accommodate the special climatic circumstances of the area that has an extreme temperature differences between fall and winter, the differences between daytime and nighttime can be vary by as much as twenty degrees. As a solution this house partially buried the house into the mountain slope to take advantage of the soil’s thermal mass. The ground around the house will be adsorbs heat accumulated during the day and it gives off heat to the building during night. Look at the Floorplan 1 & Floorplan 2 for more detail about the house layout

The house is organized around a series of patios and roof openings that provide light, ventilation, and views to different areas of the house. The sloped roof acts as a new topography, which blurs the boundaries between the constructed area and the surrounding landscape.
