The residence Campestre 106 is organized around two outdoor patios that separate the more public areas of the more private ones. Thus, the hall, the living room, dining room and kitchen are articulated around the first courtyard, while the rooms and the family room, are around the second.

The house designed by the Mexican firm DCPP has two levels but has been designed to be inhabited by using only one. Following this idea, all areas of daily use are on the ground floor, while the upper floor are rooms for guests.
 

Description of the project by DCPP 

Campestre 107 is a residence located in the San Angel Inn located in Mexico City. It counts with 325 square meters spread over two levels. These uproots within a rectangular proportion plot with dimensions of 11 meters wide by 33 deep.

By understanding the slender proportions of land it was chosen place the building of a third part of it. In this way the different spaces are arranged around two courtyards separating the public spaces from the private ones. Similarly, the project arises from the need to build a house that can be inhabited on one level. Therefore the spaces used daily users are located on ground floor.

On the ground floor, we can find on the one hand the everyday public spaces that make up a house like the living room, dining room and kitchen. While on the other the master bedroom and TV room are also located there. Going up one level we find the complementary spaces whose main users are itinerant.

PPAA. Architecture studio located in Mexico City was founded by Pablo Pérez Palacios in 2018. The practice is driven by an architecture of ideas over the architecture of forms. We conceive architecture as an open medium and message, one that is constantly put to test, by the multiple relations that are in its surroundings. They follow an inclination for nature, where the weather, soil, textures, and other factors—along with the gradients in each factor—create a sensorial atmosphere. They like to think that the way they have of understanding architecture implies that work cannot be done without considering both communal and personal intentions. Therefore, our conception of architecture is based on an understanding of the body and the relationship everyone establishes with their surroundings. Taking this into account, each project seeks to be an extension or support of our experience, personal as well as spatial.

They believe that this can be summed up in the architectural rehearsal, which is the way that modern architecture should be understood. The architectural rehearsal is a vehicle for approaching themselves; the more they rehearse, the more they understand themselves. Furthermore, for architecture to be capable of conveying an idea or intention, it has to speak of the individual, or the sum of individuals, and the way they relate to their environment, on both a sensorial and emotional level.

Pablo Pérez Palacios (Mexico City, 1980) studied in Florence, Italy before he started a bachelor’s degree in Architecture in Mexico City’s Universidad Iberoamericana and Barcelona’s Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (2000-2005). He pursued a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design at Columbia University in New York City. Subsequently, he established DCPP Architects (2007-2017) with Alfonso de la Concha.

In 2018, he started PPAA Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, an architecture studio located in Mexico City that defines itself as an independent professional practice concentrated on architecture, art, urban, and interior design. PPAA seeks an architecture of ideas over forms.

The studio is constantly participating in several competitions, and its work has been published worldwide. It was shortlisted as finalist in Concurso Papalote Museo del Niño Iztapalapa (Mexico City, 2015); and, with the project Cerrada Reforma 108, it received the silver medal in the category of “Single Family Home” at the A’Design Award 2013 and the silver medal in the category of “Vivienda Unifamiliar,” with the project Cerrada Reforma 108 at the Bienal de Arquitectura de la Ciudad de México 2013. In addition, Pablo has collaborated with contemporary visual artists such as Rita Ponce de León and Abraham Cruzvillegas.
