How an architecture studio created a lifestyle for a working professional and dedicated surfer. If you’ve ever surfed, you know that you need to watch the water. The swells tell a surfer when it’s time to surf, not the other way around. For the committed, this means that living at the beach isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.

The clearly structured residential building complies with the specifications of the development plan, but interprets it in a modern way and still fits very well into the surrounding traditional and rural housing. The facade, consisting of horizontal wooden lathing and large glass surfaces, appears rather closed to the street, but opens up with larg...

The property is located in the municipality of Santiago, Nuevo Leon approximately in the valley of Monterrey. This starting point defines the configuration of the project.
