House Five’s Patios in Coyoacan, Mexico City by Almazan y Arquitecto AsociadosFebruary 24th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Almazan y Arquitecto Asociados Since the beginning Five’s Patios design and project had to be adapted to the historical and traditional context of Coyoacán, one of the most important and significant cultural sites in Mexico.  Image Courtesy © Pedro Hiriart
 Image Courtesy © Pedro Hiriart We created a modern house that adapts to the context, through the use of elegant and well-defined elements, matching cuttings, great heights, inner patios and high-quality materials. This house combines the tradition and the historical style with innovative elements and techniques. The design of volumes surrounding patios allowed the house to have big open spaces with natural illumination, which connect by elegant and wide hallways and bridges.
