The
vision of "Buscando la Aurora" embodies in the passion and experience
on how to conceptualize, to design and to build projects of diverse scales
and kinds always seeking to contribute a distinctive note, maturing day
by day a theory, ascertainable, by means of the praxis.
We understand the architecture as a constant searching, without the imposition
of personal preferences, void tendencies o transitory styles; only the simple
act of create high quality architecture, following the honest responsibility
of being an architect.
Description
In the middle of a gorgeous GolfClub in Malinalco-Mexico, it is possible
to discover a quiet composition of geometric white objects with a mexican-teja
roof cover. Those geometric objects like to be part of the landscape, and
mix their shapes with the sorroundings. The openings in the facades are
the lecture of the plan, and transform the skyline of the field and become
part of the silluete of the mountains around. "human and nature as
one".
The “L” shape floor plan generate the language of the public and private
zones of the house, and create the playground for the kids in the heart
of the site, where also it is possible to find and use the pool and grill.
To be friendly with the environment, the climate is controlled only with
the openings and the height of every space, and the 30cms walls that insolate
the rooms in the two levels.
The color of the house is only with natural materials, white stucco in the
walls with black stone top and red Mexican-teja roof cover. The rest is
make by nature.
