The modern family home with curve and casual exterior design located on the outskirts of Mexico City. The physical conditions of a site longer and shorter compared with one resulted in a design that solves the internal space-based episodes and differentiated experiences for and handling of light materials. Architect: Materia Arquitectónica.

This house response boldly to the evident physical and natural conditions of the immediate context. The design meant a search for an architectural character fed from exercises of contraposition. Minimal and refined materials are confrontated to artisan texture: sold organic forms balancing with implied transparent and white boxes; light versus heavy.

All of these elements are arranged and placed according the interior programmatic spaces they envelop thus expressing the relation of public and private. Walls are penetrated or excavated creating volumes or voids that frame views to green spaces. The interior courtyard acts as the extension of the public area.
