Behind an instantly recognizable facade of magenta, golden yellow, and red, hides an unexpectedly calm, airy retreat filled with natural light. Inside, an all-white color palette contrasts with pale hardwoods, and a double-story living area enhances the interior living space. Featuring two bedrooms and one bath, the home also offers a loft-like office space, as well as a newly remodeled kitchen and outdoor terrace. The rear dock provides room for a motorboat, too. 

Gray subway tiles add a muted color tone in the renovated kitchen, which features all new appliances, as well as ample countertop space and cabinetry.

    Project: Residential House Architect: Taller de Diseño Exterior y Arquitectura René Caro Jesús López Collaborators: José Antonio Díaz, Karen Oaxaca Tanamachi, Daniel Rivas , Jorge Carrillo Photography: Lorena Darquea
    Area: 240 m2
    Location: Zapopan, Jalisco
    Project date: 2018
    Construction date: 2018-2019 The renovation and extension of this hermetic and rigorous house to transform it into a place of contemplation and enjoyment of the landscape had, as a guiding principle, the idea of the garden as scenario.The activities that were already happening in the house, as well as those new added to the architectural program have been organized and oriented looking for a more intimate relation from the inside outwards. Three gardens, three scenarios, three expressions. We have designed a grid of full and empty spaces, where to contemplate, wander around and just be part of them, is equally enjoyable, creating a fusion between the being and dwelling. We have chosen neutral materiality and geometry for the corridors, terraces, and indoor spaces, to enhance the presence of the Three Gardens.
