The house designed by the Mexican firm DCPP has two levels but has been designed to be inhabited by using only one. Following this idea, all areas of daily use are on the ground floor, while the upper floor are rooms for guests.
Description of the project by DCPP
Campestre 107 is a residence located in the San Angel Inn located in Mexico City. It counts with 325 square meters spread over two levels. These uproots within a rectangular proportion plot with dimensions of 11 meters wide by 33 deep.
By understanding the slender proportions of land it was chosen place the building of a third part of it. In this way the different spaces are arranged around two courtyards separating the public spaces from the private ones. Similarly, the project arises from the need to build a house that can be inhabited on one level. Therefore the spaces used daily users are located on ground floor.
On the ground floor, we can find on the one hand the everyday public spaces that make up a house like the living room, dining room and kitchen. While on the other the master bedroom and TV room are also located there. Going up one level we find the complementary spaces whose main users are itinerant.
