Más que Arquitectura Estudio: The guiding thread of the experience at Villa Arrebol suggests a lifestyle immersed in the natural environment; the transition between interior and exterior is responsible for generating sensations and reminding us of the qualities of the place we live in. The major inspiration was the dynamics of the hacienda, where you have beautiful spaces, but none is fixed to be only what it is. You can eat somewhere outside the dining room, read somewhere outside the living room. Spaces can be occupied depending on what you’re looking for — coolness, sun, shade, and this home provides all those options.
The house’s land is an irregular polygon, which meant adapting to its particular shape as well as the existing nature of the land. The facade faces south, so windows could not be added. You arrive at this seemingly enclosed and dark space, but you are welcomed by a double-height ceiling and an indoor garden, exchanging the warmth of the sun for a cool, green space.
A residential project that preserves the trees of the site, bringing life to a courtyard that becomes the heart of the home.
By gathering trees around a courtyard, the space turns into a sort of Yucatecan jungle, and we are also creating green views for every interior space of the home.
The house changes from morning to evening. The shadows and lighting shift, which helps to highlight different areas at different times of the day. The serene evening achieves a balance between the exterior and interior, in intimate communion with nature.
