An Elegant Family Villa Intertwined With a Mature Orchard | Orchard House

Orchard House is an elegant family villa set within a mature mango orchard. Designed by the architects at DADA Partners, the house deeply respects the land and existing trees, harmoniously integrating them into the design. The construction was oriented to preserve the mango trees, with some trees directly incorporated into the structure. Open and free spaces are a central feature of the design, allowing constant contact with nature.

The house features a series of gray Kurnoor sandstone-clad walls that define the three main courtyards: the central arrival path, the tree-lined courtyard to the west, and the pool to the east. With large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the residence offers spectacular views of the courtyards and tree canopies.

The interior of the house is composed of materials such as steel, wood, glass, and stone, creating a modern and welcoming atmosphere. Spacious suites, terraces projecting into the landscape, and a consistent integration between natural elements and construction make Orchard House a remarkable example of architecture that celebrates sustainability and spirituality.

    Casa Altanera is located in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México. The lot has an area of ​​2,500m2, with minimum slope. It was established as a natural and essential order of the project to follow up on the reforestation process of the area, contributing to the regenerative process that we find in our context. A single-family housing scheme was developed, contained in three separate operating modules, distributed among social areas and two pieces that interact independently, solving a program of areas for a master bedroom for two people and four secondary rooms for eight people, including your individual and shared service areas. The interaction with the exterior was proposed through the areas that develop in the palapa. The dining room, the kitchen, the living room, the deck, and the pool, are linked together in a common space, while each unfolds from its movable facade of wooden doors, resolving climate relationships independently and sustainably. The most intimate and contemplative connection happens in the pieces of concrete and wood that contain the rooms, suggesting a protected, safe place, in which, each inhabitant would individually define the type of link with its immediate exterior, from its reading of the place.
