Casa Pasiddhi is a home commissioned to team led by Rojkind Arquitectos with Agustin Pereyra and Inocente Colectivo. The house is located in a residential area, in “Hacienda de Valle Escondido”, about an hour north of Mexico City in Zona Esmeralda, State of Mexico.
The project is a special commission because Casa Pasiddhi was designed for a friend Jorge Pliego, Cony Mier his wife and his two 19-year-old twins. The house was built in an impersonal urban context with homes in different styles: “colonial,” “contemporary Mexican,” or “European mansion.”

From the street, the house designed by the architects led by Rojkind, presents a neutral and discreet image. An entrance framed by a concrete and dark metal structure is reached by crossing a row of blackened wooden posts that mark the boundary of the property.
The house has an organic morphology adapted to the ground that has a slight slope, and that receives the visitor by hiding its program. An interesting group of accesses, exposed concrete walls with a black texture welcome, surround and float over an interesting courtyard with endemic vegetation.

The different entrances and stairs all end up connecting in the heart of the house, the living-dining room, completely opening up to the landscape as opposed to the secrecy of the access and corridors.
The house that is protected towards the street is pure life towards the views of the hillside. Inside the vertical striations on the board-formed concrete facade are echoed indoors as finishing patterns.

Project description by Rojkind Arquitectos + Agustin Pereyra + Inocente Colectivo
Located in “Hacienda de Valle Escondido”, State of Mexico, within a residential area characterized by modern country-style houses, Casa Pasiddhi is discovered as an introverted stone vestige, revealing only some features of its solid and brutalist volume.
Design
Going through a simple lattice of vertical elements of wood, which barely divide the street from the property, a fluted black concrete volume appears containing the horizontal and vertical connections making an abstract mobility diagram. The volume rises, freeing the garden and showing different areas of the house amongst the abundant and wild vegetation.
The snake-shaped element forms a contemplation patio garden in the centre of the house over which the rooms and family gathering areas hover overlooking the patio from where the lobby is accessed. While entering the house you discover the main garden in which all the views and social activities of the family are centred.
The container volume of the circulations functions as a wall, protecting the spaces from the views of the neighbours. This element multiplies its function being circulation, giving privacy and defining views while giving the project a volumetric intention.
In Casa Pasiddhi, a traditional architectural housing program becomes a meandering discovery. Everything happens within a circulation system in a solid concrete volume with multiple exits. Its path is made in a semi-dark passage, illuminated mainly by overhead skylights during the day and very subtle downlights at night.
When accessing each room, the experience goes from semi-dark circulations to wide views with bright floor-to-ceiling glass spaces accentuating the connection to nature. In the exterior areas quite the opposite happens; the spaces that are delimited, framed or covered by the volume that rises and winds, create multiple experiences within a garden that invites you to visit it and discover the different areas of the house.
The project only uses three materials: Concrete, wood and glass. The concrete is presented in 2 colours and textures; grey concrete with a smooth finish for the walls of the service elements and grey concrete slabs, dark concrete with a zigzag finish to reinforce the hugging gesture of the project.

Michel ROJKIND
Michel Rojkind was born on December 18, 1969, in Mexico City, Mexico. When he was 18, in 1987, he joined Aleks Syntek’s band “La Gente Normal”, as its drummer, with whom he continued playing untill 1999, when the band broke apart, after 12 years and 4 albums.
While playing with “La Gente Normal”, Michel studied architecture and urban planning at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City and, after working on his own for several years, he teamed up with Isaac Broid and Miquel Adria to establish the architectural firm “Adria+Broid+Rojkind” (1998-2002). With the idea of exploring new challenges that address contemporary society, to design compelling experiences that go beyond mere functionality, and to connect at a deeper level with the intricacies of each project, he established, in 2002, an independent firm (rojkind arquitectos), recognized by Architectural Record in 2005 as “one of the best ten Design Vanguard firms”.
