Casa Vg.
We were aproached by the clients in order to search for a specific site inside a gated community that could accomodate a particular Project. Beforehand we asked the clients to fill out a detalied questionaire in order to understand their needs and be able to deliver a program that then would lead us to find the appropiate land, with minimal slope thus the concept was to design a house that would seem very linear.

The two Lots were facing south and had a paricular view of a natural stream of wáter running towards it in a south Eastern direction waith a backview of the mountains, so we decided to aproach the Project tracing a line that would be parallel to the stream and
Enter the propperty with a fountain that would convert into a straem and would integrate to the existing river in front of it.

The entrance from the Street is a walk down beside the stream and through a quiet garden with that transmits a sense of intimacy and then developes into a surprising doublé heiight transparent área that integrates the hosue into the adjacent view.

The whole house is built with an adobe colored concrete, walls and cellings , mostlty exposed conform a series of voplumes that intersect sometimes and long cooridors that connect each different function are also meant to be savored as part of the architecture and make for quiet integration .

The living room is facing west and the sundown in this particular part of Mexico is intense

We also worked with rosa Brun , a Spanish Arist to provide an intresting focal piece that would invite to enter the living room corridor through a series of colored stand-alone sculptures and a strong image at the back Wall .

Our practice was also responsable for the interior design
