Современный дом на крутом склоне в окружении густого соснового леса (экскурсия по дому)
House located in Mazamitla, Mexico, designed by Espacio EMA.
The house is located in the mountains of Mazamitla, 120 kilometres away from Guadalajara (Mexico), in a steeply sloping terrain surrounded by a thick pine forest. Rocks, soil, rain, pines, fog ... the beauty of the landscape and the natural elements in the site are the premise and constant inspiration for the project. The house comes out from the stones found in the site, which shape the containing walls and the basement of the house. The intersection of two volumes at different heights generates a path in the landscape, which makes the most of the natural slope and emphasizes the panoramic views. The entrance to the house is sandwiched between the stones of the mountain and a wall with a direct view from inside the house to the same stonewall. This access corridor hidden and closed between artificial and natural elements provides some drama upon entering the house.
