The house is located on a mountain three hours away from Mexico City and addresses two apparently contradictory conditions: seclusion and aperture. First, it is a shelter that protects against the radical weather -where the temperature can vary up to 30 degrees Celsius in one day and rain is predominant during half of the year-, and second, it opens as much as possible to the surrounding landscape. Its walls act as membranes, across two temperate zones (forest and prairie), two seasons (dry and wet) and three spatial conditions (center, inside and outside).

This project received an honorable mention in the Mexico’s city Biennial Architecture, it is located in a land with two opposite roads, Viaducto Miguel Alemán and Obrero Mundial street. For the final volume of the project, the team of CRAFT Arquitectos started from two premises: the first was to break with the frontal continuity generated by the facades of the buildings of the primary avenue and the second, to create 14 apartments of double orientation. In this way the project is separated from the east adjoining, leaving a courtyard that visually connects the two streets and generates a third facade in the volume.

Within Mexico City´s traditional neighborhood of “Condesa” lay a mixture of old and new, tall and short, luxurious and modest buildings scattered within parks with dense vegetation and calm environments, “Condesa” holds a charm that no other place in the city may encounter. This is the place where a short two-story building was erected in the early 1900´s, first as a single-family home, and later converted into a “vecindad” (small multi-family residential building). As time passed, the building was abandoned and left deteriorating, until 2014 when new ownership arrived and decided to bring this “Casona” back to its former glory.

MV House is located west of the city of Chihuahua, in a closed subdivision with privileged views of the city, the land is east facing. Customers were looking for views of the city as well as a large garden, where you could have visual control from anywhere in the house.
The scheme arises from the geometry of the terrain, where the west orientation adjoins a right of way of rainwater, which allowed us to separate more from the adjoining wall and take advantage of the views.
The shape of the house responds to the function of the spaces and plays with the geometry of circles and juxtaposed rectangles that embrace the garden towards the interior of the project and respond to the views of the city on the main facade and north façade.
It is located in the outskirts of the city of Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, within the facilities of the club Country Club Las Huertas.
