CASA DEL SOL 2015 - … Location: Xalisco, Nayarit, Mexico Project status: Ongoing In collaboration with Pablo David Goldin Marcovich This family house is situated in a typical middle class neighborhood of Xalisco, Nayarit. The parents wanted a house with the main living area on one level and three dormitories on a second level for when their 3 adult children come to visit them. The plot is located on the corner of the street, which gives a lot of possibilities for the development of the project. The L-shaped plan has the two main facades facing the street and leaves a centralized intimate garden, surrounded by the dormitories with their personal terraces in one wing and by the common space in the other wing. From the street view the house has a closed look, while all the views are opened towards the garden. The structure is a simple system of load bearing walls with concrete slabs and the roof exists out of a brick vault system, which is very common in the region. back to projects |
