For a Tranquil and Stylish Lifestyle in the Countryside | Boomerang House

ByMyProperty Life

The Boomerang House project was based on harmonizing with the natural environment surrounding it. Located on a carefully chosen steep terrain with a wide view of a golf course, this residence was designed to provide comfort, privacy, and sustainability for its residents.

The house features three suites, spanning 350m², and was positioned to minimize earth movement, respecting the terrain’s topography, and preserving the surrounding landscape. Its discreet and integrated facade, blending seamlessly with the slope of the plot, offers residents visual and acoustic privacy. It’s worth noting that the boomerang shape inspired the project’s name and facilitated dynamic integration with the terrain.

The main goal of the project was to create a home that fully integrates with nature, providing comfort and sustainability. Additionally, the residence was designed to reflect a peaceful countryside lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. All areas of the house have visual contact with the external surroundings, promoting integration among spaces and facilitating gatherings among residents and/or visitors, both in the living, dining, kitchen, and deck with barbecue and pool areas.

Sustainable solutions, including photovoltaic panels, solar heating, use of reforested wood, rainwater harvesting, and septic treatment, ensure energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Abundant natural light and cross ventilation eliminate the need for air conditioning in the living area, promoting a healthy and comfortable environment.

The facade, clad in brick, provides warmth, durability, and a timeless aesthetic that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. Wooden brises not only offer privacy but also add sophistication and dynamism to the interior spaces, creating a unique interaction with light and nature. Burnt cement floors with tiled patterns confer an artisanal and rustic finish, reinforcing the welcoming atmosphere of the countryside house.

Interior decoration: TAI Arquitectura de Interiores Photography: Onnis Luque The linear black cabin was designed by the collaboration between Augusto Fernández Mas and Mauricio Miranda as a country house for a client with three specific demands: simple layout, low maintenance, and living quarters and public areas in one floor. RA.L7 is located within Rancho Avandaro Country Club in the outskirts of Valle de Bravo, an hour and a halve drive from Mexico City. It is a project that portrays a strong character form the outside but at the same time invites passersby to enter. In the inside, it offers a warm cabin like feeling that through its simplicity and windows facing the golf course, guides the view to the outside. The lower concrete volume ads a sense of solidity and stability to the house, and its layout divided by a garage open on both sides provides an invitation to enter. [
    The project uses the topography of the terrain to its advantage, thus generating two volumes: the upper one which encloses the living and general public areas and the bottom one encompassing the garage, technical and service areas. The outside materials are Japanese style burnt wood (Shou-sugi-ban), Canadian darkened wood, concrete, and ceramic tiles (roof) that in turn evidence the simple lines of the design. The choice of materials demands close to null maintenance.
    The west façade, which faces the street, has dark wood symmetric divisions over the main interior hallway, creating privacy at an angle and almost unrestricted view when perpendicular to them. The purpose is to allow light into the house and permit the views to the equestrian club on the other side of the street while maintaining limited exposure to passersby’s. The east façade faces the golf course, thus there is an honest openness through all glass façade with sliding window doors and complemented with a glass-roofed terrace. In attention to the requested simplicity in the layout, the linear internal distribution has four rooms laid in a sequential manner culminating with living—room, dining-room and kitchen. One dramatic hallways communicates all areas in a straight line, adding to the simplicity of the design layout. With over 650 square meters of inside space, only one internal staircase was employed to communicate with the service areas and garage. There are two accesses to the house without stairs for the owner to comfortably access. In total, the terrain is 2,200 square meters of which ___ square meters were used for the house.
    There is a comforting feeling of warmth inside, but the same time opens up to go and enjoy the outside. It is to be lived inside wanting to be outside and, once outside, feeling invited to be protected inside. The linear and simple geometry of the house is soothed by the layout of the wood beams on the ceiling and the elegant and at the same time rough aspect of the wood floor and wood paneling on the walls. RA.L7 house is one of two recent projects done by the collaboration of Augusto Fernandez and Mauricio Miranda in Rancho Avandaro. Augusto Fernandez, through its K+A Diseño firm, is an active architect and constructor in Valle de Bravo with several country homes competed in the last years. Photography is by Onnis Luque.
