Contemporaryarchitectural family house in a residential classified historic colonial zoneof Chimalistac in Mexico City.
It difficult to say anything else about anotherhouse, and this is what this is about, is a house made to order for a client,which is often more complex than developing a large building. Theresult depends on two factors: a good architect, but rather more of a goodclient.
Thecontext in which the house is inserted has an historic colonial characteruntouched by the unorganized sprawl that has occurred elsewhere.
The fact of intervening in a historic area entries(INAH) raises the dilemma of adapting or blending into the context, but byideology could not talk about the present and future with the language of thepast.
Factgenerated some discussion with the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology andHistory) http://www.inah.gob.mx/ because their vision is to recreate thepast even if this results in a pastiche, and finally and where the interaction between the inside and outside occursour goal was to achieve the neutrality that would make the transition from the historical to the modernity of theinterior.
Thefashionable and politically correct slogan nowadays s that everything must besustainable over yet despite the good wishes and intentions, and after severalruns to determine the relationships financial cost benefit, the only we couldmanage to improve was in energysaving light bulbs and intelligent control systems and sensors linked to timerand more efficient irrigation systems.
Themost important was the use of intelligent design to make the house better incomfort and climate, and the building design process in which no processing ortransformation of materials such as stone, wood etc.was done, a system based onjust in time logistics and a change in how the jobsite is managed, withprefabrication and the inclusion of pre-finished items
Aspart of the architectonic discourse and for reasons of durability andmaintenance very few finishings were used, being concrete one of the mostnotable of the house for its ability that does not age and decay, and the factit acquires more dignity and history with time.
One of the main objectives was to achieve the mostnatural light and views to the garden, and not to create a series of closedrooms but a series of spaces where the events happen and articulate wit oneanother.
It is important to note that the entire house isdesigned in modules and multiples of feet and then generating different size ofoverlapping rectangles, that became the generating pattern of the geometrictheme of the house.
