The Wallpaper* Design Award 2020 for Best New Private House shortlist celebrates innovation and individuality
The Wallpaper* Design Award 2020 for Best New Private House shortlist celebrates innovation and individualitySet in an idyllic landscape of green, rolling hills some three hours’ drive from Mexico City, this house is a masterpiece in negotiating the relationship between architecture and nature. The architect, Fernanda Canales, worked with simple materials – brick and concrete – to create a sequence of spaces that protect the inhabitants from the harsh weather .
The house is made of stucco-finished black concrete installed around the U-shaped site to form a labyrinthine complex of angular volumes. The material helps retain heat during the night when the outside temperature drops. Multiple planting areas are built into the site and greenery is visible at every turn of the house’s three levels and rooftop terrace. Artechnic designed and produced every internal element, from walnut flooring and cabinetry to bespoke furniture designs.
