OBJETIVO
As if it were the case of a precious musical instrument, the house is a robust wrapping that develops around the position of a majestic Bösendorfer piano. The main spaces are related to both the central courtyard and the surrounding gardens, either for functional relationships or for comfort issues given the mild climate of Guadalajara.
CONTEXTO
The house is located in a residential area of the city of Guadalajara peculiar for its hills, as well as densely wooded public parks. Adjacent to one of these parks is a private condominium formed by three houses, of which our project is the one that enjoys the best views of the park and is surrounded by gardens.
ACTUACIÓN
Introverted to its neighbors, exploits its privileged position of contiguity to a public park. To the orthogonality of the plant, the section is contrasted with its different interior reliefs of the roofs in successive variations of scale, intimacy and hierarchy of spaces. An honest materiality has been intended, both in its construction systems and in its finishes.
