The design for the house of Andrés Stebelski is based on a simple cube that has attached a rectangular garden, which provides life and light to interior spaces.
Description of the project by Andrés Stebelski
This construction, located in a wooded area of Mexico City, is conceived as a family housing that takes advantage of the site and its surrounding environment.
The terrain, almost square, is divided into two rectangles that are perpendicular to the street: the house was built in one of them and the garden in the other. Taking advantage of the topography of the land, the garage and the cellars became the base or the pedestal from which the rest of the house is slightly floating, that is read like a cube, or rather a rectangular prism.
This cube, with soil finish, is completely open in its south facade, integrating itself physically and visually with the garden. Both the living room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, as well as the four floors on the upper floor, enjoy the garden and receive sunlight throughout the day.
This home is ready to fulfill all the needs of the home, maximizing each space; even circulations become common spaces of social life. It also manages to integrate various elements of nature to make more pleasant the spaces of daily life of the family.

Andrés Stebelski
Andrés Stebelski was born in Mexico City in 1977. He graduated from the School of Architecture at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York in 2002.
Andrés Stebelski is passionate about architecture, spaces and materials. He is interested in each stage of the architectural process: from conception to construction. He gets fully involved in each project and spends a lot of time on site reviewing the details. This is how he conceives his job as an architect: the ability to execute is as important as the creative process, so that the result lives up to the expectations of his clients and his. He believes that one of the basic rules is that architecture must be at the service of man; the spaces are designed to be traveled, lived and enjoyed. Often interior design is an integral part of the project, and is conceived along with architecture, and often the furniture is designed especially for the place.
