I agree with u Alejandro…regarding the context. let’s hope rest of the neighbors will decide to eventually redone their house. Still the house’s roof top hammocks are so clever and breath taking idea! Love it!

The only question I would raise has to do with context.
I mean, I love the house as a contemporary architecture piece, really well thought with lots of ideas going about it and I dislike a lot the houses next door, because to say it simple they are not architecture.
But playing devil´s advocate I´m sure many neighbors could thing the same about this house. And for me at the end that´s the final architectural question: context.
Because it is clear that for Oaxaca, for Puerto Escondido this house plus the other houses are as a whole messing up pretty badly the coastal landscape.
Sometimes green camouflage is a better suit than a concrete statement.

This big old concrete box just seems practical and even neomodern chic, so nice. The location helps it a bit.

Love the roof top hammocks. Looks like a spot where one could spend all day.

I love the idea of utilizing the top floor as an area to hang hammocks. Very original design. A breath of fresh air.
