Rancho en El peñón

valle de bravo, state of mexico

This project is under the guidelines of the El Peñón ecological reservoir. It is located 2,600 meters above sea level where rain and changes of humidity and temperature often vary drastically in just one day. Lightning bolts threaten the electrical system.

It seemed important to build a house with a generous roof to protect and harvest rain, while leaving intermediate open spaces to live. The house has a perforated courtyard layout. Generating privacy but also winking towards the incredible views all around. The rooms were built on the ground floor, except for the master bedroom which has a privileged view and area on the second floor.

The rest of the lot has a generous edible ecosystem and vegetable garden.
