Acapulco House

Acapulco House

Project Description

The house is composed of six squares, grouped in pairs. Within this compositional rule, two subtractions were made on opposite sides to form two empty spaces: the garage at the front and the social area to the rear. The different relationships that they establish with their neighbouring squares are determined by a variety of transparencies. Furthermore, there are four virtual perpendicular axes that structure the different spaces and unify them.
A pure geometric shape, the square, is strategically grouped and generates a distinct spatiality. The concept is clear and the architecture is authentic.
