Article source: Taller David Dana The Project stands 15 meters above ground. The main floor seats at the treetops level. This atypical architectural intervention seeks to create a direct bonding with the surrounding nature & also to maximize views & daylighting. The results are outstanding. After we looked at the site and its context with detail, we decided that the foundation for this proposal would be a rustic/contemporary design, a fusion that produces perpetual appetite for innovation. On one side we integrated a few fragments that are recurrent in Mexican architecture and history. From the other we inserted contemporary ideas to counter culture the conventional architecture.

The main idea of the house was to retake the already built elements from the structure and house and, protect it from the natural conditions of the land. The project is developed within the last two vertical blocks of the structure, in this way the project manages to contain open spaces interacting with the outside.

The height of the ceiling and the depth of the space presented an opportunity that we decided to take with wood oak beams & a floor to ceiling bookshelf. The architectural program of the ground floor N +112.35 consists of Room. Dining room, bookshelf, staircase, guest bathroom, storerooms, kitchen, pantry, vertical nucleus hall, elevator, service staircase.
