Casa Guayubira was born as an experimentation with the boundary between public and private space. With a closed-off front and a central space that acts as the heart of the home, this project seeks to break with certain conventional standards characteristic of Argentine suburban homes, creating a small urban oasis.

Kineki comes from the Nahuatl word quinequi, meaning “he wants.” Most of the time, architects solve problems for others, developing ideas supported by external budgets. In contrast, Kineki Tepoztlán did not stem from a preconceived idea but rather from a personal need: an architect seeking to build his own weekend home with a limited budget.

Rajasthan is synonymous with stone as building material but sadly over the last few decades this material has been reduced to a 'cladding 'medium and its potential as a robust and sustainable structural element has not been exploited.

Tools used
Local methods of dry stone construction. A minimal amount of steel such as tie-rods and shear pins reinforce the stone for seismic performance. Lime mortar is used only to seal the exterior joints
Construction
At our request, the quarry foreman reverted to the “ splitting” stone technique using traditional stonemasonry tools instead of the high-yield gangsaw extraction that is machine intensive and eliminates the natural stone grain. Splitting the stone mobilizes the human touch, limits the processing, and retains the natural Earth imprint of the stone
Material
Hard sandstone ( Jodhpur stone) is quarried 45 mins away from the site
