height, and second floor.

From the architect. The project consists of refurbishing a home in the
neighborhood of Tlacopac San Ángel. The ambition is to re-program a 2
bedroom apartment on one floor, into a house with 2 floors, recording studio,
yoga room, suite and roof garden, with the intention of expanding the garden
area downstairs.
Plan
The design language seeks clean lines and the
neutrality of the elements in their natural condition, white walls, windows,
domes, natural color woodwork, a deck intervened by elements of spatial
continuity for its everyday use and minimal maintenance.
In terms of sustainability, we implemented several
measures: reduction of energy consumption in the house based on orientation,
lighting, and natural ventilation, thus providing thermal comfort to the living
spaces. Re-conditioning green areas with controlled irrigation; rainwater
harvesting; agglomerated recycled material with rice husk (renewable fiber)
and polyethylene for the deck on terrace; recycling existing structure and
materials for the expansion on the second floor; use of the fifth facade to
double the green footprint on the site.
