Where the Line Defining the Interior and Exterior Moves Freely | Casa 388

Casa 388 was designed with a suspended horizontal plane that integrates with the natural environment. The house is developed on split levels connected by ramps, creating a fluid circulation between the interior and exterior spaces. The design emphasizes interaction with the surrounding green space, capturing the landscape and offering continuous views. Under the large roof, the social area is open, while the bedroom area shelters the cars. An inclined green terrace ensures privacy and directs the gaze towards the sky, harmoniously connecting the spaces.

  • Casa Altanera

    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.
