Casa de Piedra

Casa de Piedra" is located in the state of Querétaro in Mexico. In this project we search to construct a fluid space that projects diverse memories tracing back to childhood places, haciendas, patios, and country houses; by uniting these multiple experiences we gave way to an assembly past elements with a purely contemporary perception.

The response of this fusion attains to be familiar, however it doesn´t leave behind the strange feeling, as it was the remembrance of two different people in the same place. Undulating walls were used to create different private patios; these movements allow a better use of sunlight from the southern front, thus achieving to naturally increase the temperature inside. The 6 patios allow all rooms to control their degree of privacy achieving at the same time a cross-ventilation with a comfortable microclimate.
