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.

  • Lone Madrone Cabin

    Located on a rocky, wind-swept south facing shoreline; this 1,600sf retreat home nestles into the landscape in order to harmonize with it’s surroundings and minimize exposure to weather. Designed with retractable wall panels to protect from punishing winter storms, the house nevertheless opens up completely to the outdoors when the weather is fair — allowing the owners to fully interact with the landscape and view. The site is within the San Juan Islands National Monument, with extremely sensitive shorelines and marine environment. In order to minimize impacts to natural systems, a garden roof was employed to replace landscape lost to construction, and storm-water flows were engineered to replicate the pre-construction condition. Local materials (primarily douglas fir and western red cedar) and local craftspeople were utilized in all aspects of the project.

  • Suncrest Residence

    This new residence is located on a pristine site comprised of a mature douglas fir and pacific madrone forest, with occasional rocky clearings and several small ponds. Our clients desired a work of architecture that minimized site impacts while creating a work of architecture that utilized their favorite materials (wood and concrete) and connected them intimately with the land and the view. The home is situated where the forest gives way to a large rocky clearing with views to the sea. The structure is ‘wrapped’ around a prominent outcropping of rock and carefully situated to require a minimum of tree removal. The long, narrow footprint of the home allows every room a view of the sea while also retaining a strong connection to the surrounding forest.
