In a 10.00 x 20.00 meter plot of land and with a program of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, service patio, and garage, all on one level; endemic atmospheres were created that allow for the recreation and rest of its users. From an exposed construction process and with a declared introspection from its surface. Here, natural light is the protagonist of the project.

A project of a religious nature regularly seeks an intimate spiritual connection, if it is an individual user; and in the case of a community, the functions focus on commemorating a celebration. This common operation requires creating a versatile and almost plastically simple concept; in which the leading role lies in its users and that being or image of the connection. The connection between a user towards this superior being is regularly based on vertical orientation and it is here where the layout of the project meets these objectives.

A project rooted in thresholds and scales. Visual focus points are accentuated as one moves through the house, a design response to the site's subdivision into two lots, each measuring 6.00 meters wide by 33.00 meters deep.

From the project's inception, and with the clients' agreement on the extensive integration of endemic vegetation, the goal was to create a microclimate. This not only regulates the intense temperatures of Tapachula, Chiapas, but also provides visual and acoustic barriers from the surrounding environment.

The project's primary strategy lies in the user's connection with the coniferous reserve adjacent to the lot. This was achieved by changing the user's visual horizon, thereby assigning the areas of activities as well. It's important to remember that this project is designed to house families and tourists, through applications such as Airbnb. We are sure that the project meets the goals of generating experiences in its sporadic users, however, the treatment of waste and the use of energy is vital to return the investment of our clients.

The commission was very clear and the resources were limited; the main program was perfectly adapted to the site, although the user did not have an advantage from their premises and the environment itself. The power of the location. From the planting of the project, we gain ventilation, lighting, and unique natural perspectives. In addition to this, we potentiate the proposal from a separation of elements; as if we opened a house-nucleus in parts and each free area had a perceptual and bioclimatic reason. The character was also influenced in this procedure, losing the plastic of “conventional” housing, to simple cubes united only by vaults for their transition.

The plot of this house is located in the suburbs of San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, in a wooded area and with three gardens. The house was projected in the west garden, producing two "visual leaks" regarding its site analysis: the garden with its endemic vegetation can be seen on the ground floor level and the pine forest is observed on the upper floor level. This was represented in the design, producing sets of volumes in which living rooms and terraces unite to blur the feeling of impenetrability while allowing the entry of natural light through large windows that always point towards a central courtyard connected to the garden.

The term “social housing” evokes concepts such as austerity, minimal living space, and mass housing designed for low-income populations.

The Cuchunúc tree positioned us, indicated the point of tension, and last but not least, marked the essential transition point of the project. This is because there is a very important feature on this country site, the soil. It is of a reddish tone that dramatizes the flowering season of the Cuchunúc when the flowers fall on the clay. And we haven't talked about architecture yet, but about visual poetry, which couldn't be separated from the concept.

Do you know the architecture of Chiapas? A house with identity, adapted to its regional and bioclimatic context, always reflecting a constructive honesty in its elements and materials.

Each region of Mexico exudes its own identity and creates its own atmosphere, regardless of trends, design movements, or the Anglo-Saxon traditions that increasingly seem to crowd our calendar. This is especially true of small towns, which serve as eternal reflections of constancy—a snapshot capturing local customs and daily life. This realization led us to conclude that while architects can design anywhere (as research methods yield contextual architecture regardless of ZIP code), we faced an immense challenge when designing a hotel in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas.

Provided with a basic habitable program with the liberty and advantages of a chromatic monotony, making up both an atmosphere and a language that commonly applies to large scales. For this project, the strategy focuses on the spatiality and prominence of a small central garden, appreciated from any area of the house.

The city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez in Chiapas, Mexico maintains a constant and rapid demographic and comercial growth. This growth is remarkably reflected in the east and west extremes of the city while less so the city centre. This has caused the abandonment of buildings and houses with high commercial and spatial value in the centre. Our clients previewed a very important and constant niche of foreign tourism that spends the night in the city, as a brief stopover before continuing their journey to San Cristóbal and Palenque in Chiapas.

The population density in cities is in constant growth and Tuxtla Gutiérrez has not been an exception. It is the students from high school to postgraduates from various municipalities, including Oaxaca, that add to this statistic. Our client was very clear about the idea of providing rental apartments that could be financially accessible for two students or a newly joined young couple, but that in turn offered something different that would give him an advantage over the other proposals in the neighbourhood.

Considering that an eco duct is defined based on the interaction between the water network and the natural water harvesting, the project proposes to use the water as a transforming element. Adding the factor of time to the formula of design creates a collective experience of observing how the pavilion transforms in colours and textures according to the seasons, the rusting of the pavilion will become what the flowers are for the eco duct, the irrefutable triumph of nature over tectonics.

"The container inside the container" both play an important role in the project, one can not be without the other and the spatial difference between them generates the required environment to provide amenity to the privacy of the users.

The architectural piece, situated on the plot, is shaped like a cross, dividing each quadrant into specific zones; the primary intention is to visually and acoustically screen out the street and the southern exposure with its solar incidence. As architects, on this occasion, we were tasked with translating the users' habits and customs. A corridor acting as the main feature of the home's first impression upon entering was the primary requirement. Additionally, a versatile garage for social gatherings required this service area to blend in seamlessly behind a wooden envelope, which conceals a storage room, machine room, service area, and laundry room.
