The project is located in the capital of the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa. Due to the city’s year-round heat and high levels of humidity, a bioclimatic study was conducted and regarded as a key factor for the architectural design decisions. The home’s direct access to an artificial lake was also a guiding element of the design.
