LR House +

6000 sq ft, Mexico City, 2016.

Designed for a family of four and their pets, Bernarda the puppy, and Picasso the rabbit. Hosting family reunions and entertaining is core to the program narrative; a double-height social area with a glass curtain wall opens to an ample terrace. The house faces south with amazing views of the green. The natural light is reflected and choreographed over the walls as ever-changing paintings on a white canvas. And circulations are discovery pathways that guide the spectator through light patterns and minimalistic shapes. Materials are limited to white and lime massonry walls, steel, natural woods, and glass.

Upper floor: Guest room with Full Bathroom, Private Patio, and Family Room with Terrace.

Ground Floor: Vestible, Living, Formal Dining, Breakfast Nook, Kitchen, Pantry, Vanity, Terrace, Laundry, and Maid’s quarters. Attached covered Garage with storage.

Lower floor: Two Bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet and a Full Bathroom, Master In-Suite. Private Patio and Backyard.

5,000 sq. ft. Valle de Bravo, Mexico, 2020.

Vacation Home in a gated community, surrounded by evergreens, near a lake and a picturesque historical town. The community has very strict codes, including pitched tiled roofs and the use of adobe in walls. Although the intention was to design a modern home.

At the beginning, a one-story project was completed, but through the process, the clients decided to double de size by adding height to the second story. The “L” shape layout with vistas to the yard and facing south remained, as in the first scheme. Allowing cathedral ceilings and exposed trusses. A double fireplace faces the living room, and the deck that is covered by a louvered pergola.

The concept was about simplicity and warm spaces for the extended family and friends.

On the ground floor, there is a family room, dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms that share a full bathroom, and an in-suite master. Also attached garage, maid’s room, and laundry. The covered deck extends the family room to the yard, where there is a jacuzzi.

On the upper floor, there is another in-suite master, storage, and a media room that can accommodate more guests.

Living room with a ceiling featuring exposed wooden beams, a sitting area with a sectional sofa and pillows, a wooden coffee table, a hallway with a closed door, and a large glass sliding door leading to an outdoor yard.
