CASA BV

Casa BV is imagined as an interior patio with a wall that captures the sunlight, allowing an open but protected life in the middle of the semi-arid territory of San Miguel de Allende. Direct sunlight from the Bajío adjusts to the walls, cool in summer and warm in winter.

The construction consists of two levels: the public space - a Yoga studio - sinks below the ground, in an intimate space, ending in a shaded patio. The patio opens, protected by the stone wall that connects with the outside.

The private space, built on the second level, is articulated around a central patio, connecting spaces in the house. A staircase goes up to the terrace that overlooks the Presa Allende and the Picachos de San Miguel.

Plaza Menchaca

Located in Ejido Menchaca, Querétaro, the Commercial Plaza accounts for its industrial environment. With commercial premises on the ground floor and a large open-plan space on the first level, the Plaza becomes the center of activities in the neighborhood.

Casa SAN

House for 4 people, in the surroundings of Querétaro, Mexico.

Open to the horizon of the Valle del Marqués, Casa SAN is a reflection of the transparency of the Chichimequillas sky and the stone quarry of the Cerro del Conejo reserve.

Its nature is twofold. Deprive the sun, taking care of the temperature of the house but integrating the landscape through the transparency of its windows.

Residencial Cereus

Residencial Cereus is a project that cares for the environment. Located in the Zibatá complex in Querétaro, the semi-arid space that surrounds it is part of the concept. The compressed earth structure is combined with apparent concrete columns giving a sense of stability to the house.

Design : Arch. Mario López

Team: Arch. Gerardo Aguilar

Residencial Cereus

The earthen structure helps keep the house cool in the hottest times of the year and warm in the winter. Thus, the set is honest from its environmental design, integrating the structure as a lattice, keeping each window between earthen columns. The texture of the set is assembled to the environment.

Residencial Cereus

Each house has the possibility of growing on its terrace. Growth can take place on the ground floor of the house or on its first level. Both options give rise to a larger space for families of four or five people. The ground floor room is conditioned to easily receive elderly people, giving the opportunity to rent the upper floor later, making their access independent.

Residencial Cereus

The main access to residential Cereus is a thin sheet of concrete, inclined to force the passage of the wind through the access. People keep to the shadows.

Forming wood and pieces such as purlins and planks were used to make doors and frames. Heavy-duty marine box flooring helps maintain room temperature and prevent echoes from entering the home.

Casa Punta Farallón

Main Facade / Chimalistac, Farallón del Convento del Carmen, between Coyoacán and San Angel. Mexico City.

Design: Arch. Mario López

Team: Arch. Ana Laura Martínez

Casa Punta Farallón

Casa Punta Farallón / Herrerías was designed with a central stone patio.

All spaces converge to the central courtyard, integrating into one. The privileged view of the lava wall of Chimalistac, fortress of the Carmelite convent of San Angel, is taken advantage of by the stairs that are the link between the patio and the private spaces.

The sun is generous in the house during the winter but it is saved during the summer, sheltered by the Farallón.

Stone floors, the tectonics of the house resembles the porosity of the lava that protects it. Chimalistac and Coyoacan are distinguished on its façade.

The Patio as the center of life in the house.

Casa Lap

In a gated community in Mexico City, is the Lap house.

Light is decisive in the house. It falls from the brick walls and separates the volumes of the inner house.

Museo de las Fuerzas Armadas

Betlemitas Church / Historic Center, Mexico City

The proposal of the museum is within the framework of the 100th Anniversary of the Mexican Armed Forces.

Inside the Chapel, the structure floats in the nave, touching the floor at 3 points to support the interior ramp, thus avoiding the intervention of the exterior structure of the Temple.
