Daniel Tapia — Sun, 14 Jul 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Casa Terrazas is located west of the city of Chihuahua, in a subdivision on a hill, on a south facing plot. The clients were looking for a concept in which the views of the city would be used to the maximum while at the same time avoiding direct sunlight in summer, but being able to take advantage of it during the winter in order to heat the spaces.

The social area is in the volume oriented to the north, and the service area, the kitchen and the dining room are in the volume that opens to the east.
