Andrés Stebelski architect builds a house in San Miguel Chapultepec, an area in Mexico City, in the old district of Tacubaya.

Andrés Stebelski proposes a house altenating built volumenes and emptys (patios), which provide the house of an unique space, where inside and outside are mixed and all is one. In addition, he projects a garden on the roof where the occupants can relax and enjoy the great views of the district.

Description of the project by Andrés Stebelski

Located in the old district of Tacubaya in Mexico City, this house employs a contemporary language in an attempt to reinterpret the use of patios.

The floor plan can be read like a chessboard, alternating solid volumes and open patios; but since the design of the house is all in glass, the space is conceived as one: the inside becomes the outside and vice-versa.

The metal structure plays an important role in the project by creating a three-dimensional grid that defines the spaces and which is slender enough to allow transparency. The visible structure of both the ceilings and the floors provide rhythm and order.

The vegetation in the patios is an integral part of the house, creating the impression of bringing the outside in.

A garden decorates the roof, where a glass cube rises in the middle of the plants; its purpose is to regulate the temperature of the house but also creates an ideal spot to read and contemplate the vegetation and roofs of the ancient district of Tacubaya.

More information

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.
