Project description



This property adjoins a large lake in a small town situated a few hours from Mexico City. To take full advantage of the relationship with the surroundings, a system of elongated rectangular volumes was used, with one side of each completely open toward the lake. The sloping plot and the amount of surface to be realized led to the creation of three volume stacked in a zigzag pattern, generating spacious open terraces and irregular, sheltered patios between them.


From the street, the residence looks like a traditional construction; the use of roof tiles, wood, natural stone, and the plastered facade with small openings, grants it the regional character that is required by urban planning requirements. From the lake, the home becomes a composition of rectangular elements with large glass surfaces; like a series of typical modernist volumes, stacked in a dynamic configuration.

Why Dogs Are Man’s Best Friend (22 pics )

To make sure we always get up on time:


No really, humiliation is one of the best parts:


And also to alert us to potential dangers:


I mean, we all need someone to spoil:


So we can laugh at their little mistakes:


And be cheered up after a rough day:


To keep our yards squirrel-free:


And also to put our tennis balls to good use:


So they can protect us:


…And we can humiliate them:


But so is lifelong friendship:


And of course, there’s the cuddles:


To remind us we all make mistakes:


Because even the smallest of us needs looking after:


And, of course, someone needs to look after them:


I mean let’s face it, some of them are pretty dumb:


But they help us too because smiles are contagious:


Also, they remind us we need to get our exercise:


And that there’s more to life than the Internet:


Also, those bellies aren’t gonna rub themselves:


And someone to come home to everyday:


To help us with leftovers:
