Article source: Andrés Stebelski architect Located in the old district of Tacubaya in Mexico City, this house employs a contemporary language in an attempt to reinterpret the use of patios. The floor plan can be read like a chessboard, alternating solid volumes and open patios; but since the design of the house is all in glass, the space is conceived as one: the inside becomes the outside and vice-versa.

The visible structure of both the ceilings and the floors provide rhythm and order.

A garden decorates the roof,where a glass cube rises in the middle of the plants; its purpose is to regulate the temperature of the house but also creates an ideal spot to read and contemplate the vegetation and roofs of the ancient district of Tacubaya.
