Ederlezi: a space of interconnected gardens on a 16 feet-wide plot. The 360° views of hills, mountains, and ridges connect the user with the horizon from the terrace at the top of the house. The interior is distinct, with robust reddish atmospheres, patios, and landscaped spaces that invite a calmer, more intimate, and unplugged life.

Located in a quiet but urban area in Mexico city’s west limits, Casa Madre is a single-family residence that carves the sloping terrain with staggered concrete volumes. The project emerges from the site and is surrounded by local trees and neighbor’s constructions, creating a light contrast between the greenery and the gray palette from the façade.
