Article source: Juan Carlos Loyo Arquitectura \”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.

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.

Thanks to its materials you get an intimate feeling like a country house, the use of wood, tile and stone provides a relaxed atmosphere. In the public area the height doubles using curved volumes of pure geometries. The library has underground shelves to allow storing a large number of books without losing the visibility of the internal courtyard and to take advantage of the lighting.
