Real Hacienda III Cañada in Atizapán de Zaragoza, Mexico by Sobrado + Ugalde ArquitectosFebruary 27th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Sobrado + Ugalde Arquitectos The original California style house was located on a 2,625 sq m lot with 1,285 sq m constructed. After going over all the spaces we decided that for the intervention it was necessary to demolish the south area of the original construction, a large volume blocking all the light.

The house was on the higher level of the lot and did not have connection with the garden, this is why we created a terrace that joins all the areas and demarcates them with the tree tops of the back garden. The development of solid and glass volumes add a positive and negative move that gives rhythm to the façade, the solid blocks locate the private spaces and the glass ones the public areas.

We decided to create a stone block framed in steel that keeps all the vertical circulations of the entire house, and besides being visually important helps to control the interior temperature by gradually increasing the heat during the day and transforming into a large heater during the night.

The volumes composition is one of the main features of this project and starts from the most solid element: the stone wall and the grand closed façade and decomposes en marble and glass blocks that reflect the trees and vegetation in the back façade of the house.
