Description of the project by Andrés Stebelski
This construction, located in a wooded area of Mexico City, is conceived as a family housing that takes advantage of the site and its surrounding environment.
The terrain, almost square, is divided into two rectangles that are perpendicular to the street: the house was built in one of them and the garden in the other. Taking advantage of the topography of the land, the garage and the cellars became the base or the pedestal from which the rest of the house is slightly floating, that is read like a cube, or rather a rectangular prism.
This cube, with soil finish, is completely open in its south facade, integrating itself physically and visually with the garden. Both the living room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, as well as the four floors on the upper floor, enjoy the garden and receive sunlight throughout the day.
This home is ready to fulfill all the needs of the home, maximizing each space; even circulations become common spaces of social life. It also manages to integrate various elements of nature to make more pleasant the spaces of daily life of the family.
