The site is located in a residential zone adjacent
to the southwest of Monterrey, on a highland forested zone. The house
program is fragmented according to each component’s function and
role within the site; all enclosed in a perfect square in the general
plan. Each volume located in the corners. The social area is on the
first level, within a mirrored glass envelope that simultaneously
reflects and contains the lush surrounding and the bedrooms are
underground and built with clay and rammed earth in relation to the
topography. The three areas have a screen that was designed to adapt
according to different spatial connections and structural
possibilities: floor, permeable floor, screen wall, and structural
wall, and as a semi-open wall that allows ventilation and sunlight
bathing the interior spaces.
