Article source: Agraz Arquitectos The first child of this young family was born while this house was under construction making it the place where all the strategies the firm has come up to, took place. The project is developed in three levels, using the basement as garage, for man must be above automobiles at all times. This cellar is also the place for storerooms, equipment and service rooms, allowing the existence of these two alternate worlds for the dwellers.  Image Courtesy © Mito Covarrubias

In an independent manner, there is another bathroom, this one much smaller, and then comes the kitchen as a distributor that feeds all areas: living and dining rooms which by means of a large window wonderfully enjoy the garden, and a terrace that transforms the meeting areas into a transitional point between interior and exterior, inside and outside, natural and not natural. This terrace allows a joyful use of all day zones because it is ideal for family or friend gatherings.

Meantime the South façade is where two other bedrooms with walk in bathrooms and closets are.
