Article source: MORO TALLER DE ARQUITECTURA K’umanchikua house is located in an avocado orchard, on a rectangular plot, with a constant slope of 15% and without potable water or drainage services, near the indigenous population of Tarécuato, Michoacán. The request of the clients was a vacation home, with a living area to receive and host family and friends, and the house had to be deployed in an area of 20×20 without affecting the existing trees.

It was built in the highest part of the land to take advantage of the view and slope, generating a system to capture the rainwater from the roofs and to be able to send it by drainage towards the “pot” of storage.

With these materials, the constructive system is of stone foundations, with adobe load walls, the inclined ceilings of wood beams and roof covered with tile.
