The buildings are largely constructed from concrete, pine and mud bricks.
“The balance between materials – mud and wood – and its vernacular building processes bind this country house in harmony with its context”, explain the architects. Inside, the neutral, earthy palette continues. Rooms are restrained and simple, featuring wooden shutters, exposed brick walls, and soft natural furnishings – an interior design scheme overseen by Mexican studio MAD Concept.
Due to the extremely pared-back nature of the interiors, varying natural light effects become the key decorative element. Soft morning sun turns into a strong warm glow at sunset, momentarily staining the walls in deep orange hues. The changing environment around the house is always noticeable inside – from the breeze to the temperature, to light – a conscious connection that brings life into the raw interiors.
