Jorge Taboada Morón Located in San Pedro Garza Garcia with 550 square mt2 builted, and with an architectural program that would meet the needs of a family with two young daughters, with spaces where the family could meet and share both outside and inside; the weather in the area, very different from the metropolitan area of Monterrey, has cool summers but very cold and wet winters, the family sought to have even in these cold months integration with the surrounding forest and in the warmer months, outdoor areas to enjoy family and friends.

Beckon stone walls that give structure and frame the sides, are an element that balances the contemporary design with the forest. The interiors feature finishes and neutral colors accented with details of warm colors that we see in rugs and cushions. This is how Local 10 managed to make a haven of comfort and that it enjoys a spectacular view of the city of Monterrey.  Image Courtesy © Arq. Jorge Taboada Morón  Image Courtesy © Arq.
