Ellie Stathaki is the Architecture & Environment Director at Wallpaper*. She trained as an architect at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece and studied architectural history at the Bartlett in London.
Casa Roja – or Red House – was designed to carry a taste of its environment, the Oaxacan residential area of Bahías de Huatulco near's west Coast. The defining colour of its pigmented concrete walls, a feature that lends it its name, is a nod to the warm and reddish tones of the region's traditional ceramics. The home's author, architect Angel Garcia, sought to express through his design the 'identity of its place'.
Garcia explains: 'The house seeks complexity, artisan tradition, the exploration of curves, the paths of the labyrinth, the collage of textures and natural materials, the superposition of layers, the whim of vegetation, the modulation of natural light and, above all, it attempts to reflect the warmth of home, domesticity and the particular identity of the family that lives there.
