This House Was Designed to MEASURE TIME

ByMyProperty Life

House 720 Degrees by Fernanda Canales is not organized around rooms.
It is organized around time.

Designed as a continuous ring in an isolated valley in Mexico, this house follows the movement of the sun, light, wind, and shadow — turning each hour into a different way of living the same space.

During the day, it opens to the landscape.
At night, it turns inward, transforming its central courtyard into a protected refuge.

Rather than choosing between open or closed, this home becomes both — depending on the hour, the climate, and the season.

House 720 Degrees is not just architecture.
It is a way of living with time.

  • Yeronga House

    A blank canvas to create a new family home. On this slim vacant block, perched on a Brisbane ridgeline, we were engaged to design a comfortable and homely abode with the challenge set to capture the views, traverse the sloped terrain and filter the bright sunlight. We achieved this by creating a contemporary spin on the historic Queenslander whilst layering the spaces with this multi-levelled home. The heart of the home, the Kitchen and Living areas, are positioned on the middle layer and both sleep and play zones are separated out on their own floors. Everyone in the family has their place for retreat. At every opportunity there is an opening to bring light and air into the home. Vistas to the city are harnessed, and views to the neighbours are screened with the use of dense battening. Complex planning requirements meant that the home should be contained within a set envelope. This led to opportunities to create varying floor levels and introduce pitched ceilings which provide internal volume without excessive height or overwhelm to the home’s surrounds.
