四所派纳雷斯房屋丨墨西哥丨Grupo Arquitectura

Grupo Arquitectura designed Four Houses Pinares, a set of four independent residences amidst a wooded landscape in Mexico. The architects adapted the homes to the site’s natural topography, ensuring minimal disruption to existing trees. Each structure features a metallic frame with visible wooden beams and panels.

About Four Houses Pinares

Wooded Topography at Four Houses Pinares

Designed by Grupo Arquitectura, Four Houses Pinares is a project of four independent two-level houses with common amenities, nestled in a completely wooded and descending topography in Mexico.

Upon visiting the site, architects were struck by the huge trees, deciding not to touch them. Instead, they adapted the houses to the natural conditions of the land in an almost surgical way, preserving the unevenness.

Designed to Look Years Old

The project’s final outcome is houses that appear to have been built for years, with vegetation planted at the same time as the construction.

The houses’ structure is metallic, featuring floors with beams and wooden panels left apparent.

Walls are made of Silver Travertine and wooden panels, while retaining walls and general fences of the complex are constructed of regional stone placed without a joint. Interior floors and terraces are built with a gray stone from India called Caledonia.

Interior and Lighting Design

The design of the houses is staggered, providing descending views for the living areas. Circulations and services are directed towards the rear facade to ensure privacy.

Environmental respect was a key consideration for all installation systems. Wastewater is recycled and treated with lighting automated for greater efficiency.

Windows are fitted with state-of-the-art glass designed to conserve temperature and isolate noise, illustrating thoughtful integration of sustainable solutions throughout the project.
