PPAA, or Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, designed a house with small courtyards and double-height spaces create a bright and airy atmosphere embracing the natural vegetation found at back of plot.
Main target was to merge sections of the main forest-like garden with the interior of the house and let in natural light.
Project description by Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados
Lluvia is a single-family residence located in Jardines del Pedregal, southern Mexico City. It is located in a residential area, and the site has neighboring constructions. One of its main qualities is the natural vegetation found at the back, which became an important asset in the architectural scheme.
The house is conceived as a solid volume that incorporates subtractions along the main axis; these are formed as small courtyards and double heights depending on the program. Our main intention was to merge sections of the main forest-like garden with the interior of the house and let in natural light.
