The project for GG House emerged from a very particular commission. Our client, a middle-aged bachelor, wanted to build a weekend house in a clearing in a forest, on a property on a mountain. In addition to the topographical conditions, we found that the project involved unusual requirements in terms of privacy, which allowed a more open relationship between the spaces and the environment.

LA House was born out of an especially fruitful relationship with the client. Thorough communication was established from the beginning we were granted complete trust to translate their needs into space.

MM House / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

House MM presented an unusual challenge for us. Two brothers who owned a considerable stretch of land in Tapalpa approached us with the intention of building two separate houses. As we dug into the project´s needs we realized that both of our clients had similar needs an while they didn’t mind, and in fact preferred, that the houses share a common language, each one had to convey its own singular personality. The topography of the site imposed its own set of variables that resulted in further slight alterations in the design of each house.

Punto Surf / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The project arises from the idea of creating a building with a removable metal frame capable of holding an artificial wave machine for surfing, complemented by an architectural program consisting of: bathrooms / dressing rooms, restaurant / bar and administrative area, which revolve around the main attraction. The project is located in a commercial area to the west of the city of Guadalajara.

VR Tapalpa House / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Casa VR, located in a secluded area near the town of Tapalpa, is an exercise in clarity and functionality. The program is arranged on four quadrants, which are defined by the intersection of two main circulation axes. Within this system, spaces are distributed according to privacy requirements and affinity. The design of the house was driven by the desire to allow it to connect with the outdoors and to converse with its regional context using a contemporary vocabulary: the building affords ample views and is accessible through various entry points, while its stark geometry is expressed with local materials and rustic finishes that were executed with precision.

LoMa Chapalita / Elías Rizo Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Wed, 19 Feb 2014 18:00:00 +0000

On an emblematic avenue in Guadalajara, a short distance from a city landmark in the heart of a cosmopolitan area, this building rises in an attempt to become a reference in Guadalajara’s cityscape. The project aims to create an imposing building that is kind both to its surroundings and the environment. The project consists of 6 commercially available office levels plus commercial spaces. The office levels have the possibility of splitting into 4 private stalls giving the building a dynamic and variable trait with up to 24 distinct office spaces.

OVal House / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The commission for casa Oval came from a young family with clearly defined needs and aspirations. This project presented a challenge that has become increasingly prevalent among Mexican architects: to build a house in a cloistered residential community that often imposes arbitrary, traditionalist aesthetic restrictions on all construction. Privacy and space efficiency were the two driving concerns for the project. The house envelope needed to afford sufficient visual privacy from the street outside, while also providing enough porosity to allow generous amounts of natural light into the house.

DTF House / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

Daniel Sánchez — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Casa DTF presented a challenge akin to that of casa Oval; both houses were built within the confines of a private residential community and raised similar privacy issues. In the case of Casa DTF the house program was resolved in three levels. The program distribution allows for a clear separation of private and public functions. The basement houses all service areas and the garage; the ground floor, which rises half a story above the street level, includes all public areas such as kitchen, dining and living spaces as well as a studio. The second level includes four bedrooms.

House X / Agraz Arquitectos

Alexandra Molinare — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000

A corner lot, therefore an unusual and unique task for the office. Moreover, the lot is adjacent to another house designed by the office, which presents the opportunity to establish a dialogue between both houses.

Casa La Punta / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

Alexandra Molinare — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Located in La Riviera Nayarit - Punta Mita, Mexico, the commission consists of a rest house for an unusual couple, so the house should stay away from stereotypes of regionalist design – and must respond to the particular way of life and thinking of their future inhabitants. Both residents are a part of the process of design of the house, she, with an inexhaustible talent, engages directly with the theme of the furniture and interior design, and he gives shape to his ideas with technical creativity.

This unique vacation house is located near Tapalpa in a secluded forested area. The house adapts to its surrounding through two volumes that define the usage areas. The first volume is where all daytime activities happen: the entrance, dining room, kitchen, living room, and terrace. This volume is elevated, generating a dialog with the surrounding forest.

Javier Gaete — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 01:00:00 +0000

Casa RO / Elías Rizo Arquitectos

The site is located in a well stablished residencial area. This house built in the 60’s, with its straight lines, honest distribution, communication with the exterior, and usage of materials, represents the architecture of its time. All these hints help the author decipher the project and set in motion arduous work of intervening while respecting its essence.
