The Program
The architectonic program for a young couple which will live in the house consists in a mainlevel where the social areas are located, with a pleasant living room with a chimney, diningroom, bar, wine cellar, kitchen and family room. In the first floor the bedrooms and a studioare located. At last, there is a second floor with the service area.
The Project
The project was started by studying the site conditions and designing a rational square floorplan in which every space was used the best way possible. Nevertheless we found out thatthis method was creating some visual conflicts from de interior to the exterior, so wedecided to extend a part of the house to the back of the lot, achieving with this a betterorientation of all the spaces within a highly organized grid.

The Facade
The ventilated facade was covered by a NBK ceramic cover, which is a natural material ofterracotta that provides warmth and durability to the project. This house is the first singlefamily housing project in Mexico covered with this material. This puts the house on a globallevel in which technology and its constructive methods are an important part of the designprocess.
