The pared-back Casa Primitiva by Hanghar fits in perfectly in its semi-rural Spanish context
– a cultural destination on the coast of Puerto Escondido, Mexico, featuring architecture by the likes of Tadao Ando, Alberto Kalach, Álvaro Siza and Kengo Kuma; while Claudio is a prolific theatre producer in Madrid.
Founder Eduardo Mediero calls Hanghar ‘a ten-year architectural office’, established on 1 January 2021 and expiring on 31 December 2030. Its limited lifespan is a deliberate rejection of mission creep: other architects may aspire to go from small projects to making a big concert hall, but he wants Hanghar to stay focused on ‘residential projects that question normative ways of owning a house’, within the context of its rapidly developing home city.
Taking cues from local homes, Hanghar gave Casa Primitiva a modest profile, so it gives the impression of a secluded retreat in a vast landscape. The exterior walls are finished with an off-white splashed waterproof mortar. Mediero points out that, in addition to being cheap and efficient, the mortar has a raw, unpredictable character that has parallels with Bosco’s work: ‘You can’t really control the final outcome.
The house doesn’t have an entrance door; it is accessed directly through two large windows that swivel to link the main living space and kitchen with a full-width front porch
