A house built for a garden. On a quiet street next to Chapultepec forest, a discrete volcanic rock wall reveals an entrance that when entering a young Jacaranda is spotted at the end of the plot bathed in sunlight. Bamboo disguises the boundaries of the plot, and in it, a concrete core is born in the foundations and rises three levels up.
