Designed within a private subdivision of the ZMG for a young family. This house divides its program into three floors – service plant, social and private areas.
Emphasizes the entrance to the house with a staircase that goes from the level of bench and visually ends with a tree that houses the entrance hall located right in the center of the property – being the cube of stairs a natural divider between a space and another, the kitchen area is separated from the living and dining area, the children's bedrooms from the main bedroom on the top floor.
A different palette of materials is proposed in each level, starting with metal plates in the basement, travertine marble plates on the ground floor and granite for the upper floor façade.

This project is located in a growing area of the city of Aguascalientes. The unknown future development of the adjoining lots guided the creation of an inward-looking campus. The campus’s compositional and functional strategy lies in the central plaza’s design: a series of concentric rings radiate outward from this large meeting space, giving meaning and shape to the program and use of the project. The courtyard is subdivided by the Learning Center, creating a multipurpose plaza as well as a contemplative garden for the school’s most public activities. A structural arcade creates the perimeter circulations around the courtyards and is followed by the classroom blocks and the project’s general program. The façade or structural perimeter responds to the use and orientation of each of its parts.

The house is located on the western side of Guadalajara, Jalisco, in a private housing development overlooking a forest that delimits a golf course.
The concept of the project originates from the reinterpretation of traditional Mexican homes, where public and private spaces revolve around a central courtyard.
REFUSE! Is an indoor cycling studio in Guadalajara, designed by EstudioFernandaOrozco.
The inspiration for this project comes from the Tour the France, the largest cycling race in the world, an athletic event with tradition, multiculturalism and full of colors through the uniforms and elements of cycling.
The Aculco project is a holiday home completely isolated in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nature. It is the ideal place to get in contact with our most elemental states, and get some rest from modern living in a natural environment, that has some impressive cliffs close by. The place was found by two brothers who love outdoor activities while they were in a rock climbing trip. The Aculco project was ordered by them a couple of years after they bought the area and reforested it. The architectural project was mainly guided by the qualities of the environment, so we sought to establish a reciprocal dialogue between the construction and its natural surrounding. We went for simplicity, minimal need of maintenance, and intimacy with the panorama and the land. The house is made of block walls of quarry stone from the area, clay floors, wood and glass. We left every material in its raw state without covering it. The construction´s clear spaces become almost solely a container of views.
The house is located on the western side of Guadalajara, Jalisco, in a private housing development overlooking the forest of La Primavera. The project reveals itself as a concrete frame that slides laterally over a stone base, generating the gesture of the entrance to the residence. The access is through a stone staircase that rises from street level, through a lush garden until reaching an open wooden corridor that culminates on the main door.
The project is an extension to the teaching infrastructure for the BioEngineering Department. Tecnológico de Monterrey’s Queretaro campus was initially organized in a more or less recognizable Cartesian mesh in its first built volumes, arbitrarily rotated 41 degrees from the north. Given the absence of order and intention in the infrastructure that was built in the last 20 years, Sasaki Design was invited to develop a new master plan. Sasaki’s attempt aims to give order and meaning to the campus, as the current set lacks meaning and identity. The plan defines two axes in a Roman way that originate in a new “heart” from which everything would start. The project is located at the east end of one of these two guiding axes. This implies a certain hierarchy without becoming the most important building. The new Laboratories seek at their site to generate three types of new public spaces with different qualities among them: two exterior piazzas, a portico and an interior garden.
Oku is a new Japanese restaurant located at the northeast area of Mexico City in the ground floor of a corporate office building at Prado Sur street.
The kitchen and services of the space are placed at the back corner of the space, opening the rest of the layout for the reception entry, sushi bar and interior/ exterior space for different types of seating layouts.
A political change that led to the improvement of social housing in the municipality of San Pedro Garza García allowed us to develop a proposal that breaks with the model of urban sprawl that characterizes Mexican social housing.
Ayuccá seeks to generate a complete sense of neighborhood, considering concepts such as typological diversity, facilities and infrastructure, greenspace, quality public spaces, urban planning (taking into account the regulations and peculiarities of the informal city), variety in the typology (combining collective, private housing, commerce, mix of uses and users), climate comfort, identity, and meaning to its inhabitants.
Raw, devoid from cosmetic elements, minimal, almost martial… this is the resulting speech that communicates our proposal for Irori Mérida. The material palette is very straight forward: stone, concrete, steel, wood and vegetation; Being the same with the color palette which is evoked by the materials for them to bring up the variety of flavors there is to taste. Using three stores of a Street Mall which was previously designed by us, we propose two concepts in the same space: a restaurant and a bar, the leading role on the first one is the Sushi Bar which poses centered in the back, for the second one, the Sake bar is located in the front which unites both concepts and a future exterior terrace. Both bars are concrete blocks covered in Oak wood using clean strokes, that are only meant to be the background of what will be served on top.
