House near Monterrey

House near Monterrey is a 10,000-square-foot residence set beneath the northern ridge of El Cerro de Chipinque in northeast Mexico. The site’s proximity to the ridgeline informed the approach, with the design positioned to emphasize views outward and to shape distinct zones between indoors and outdoors. The house is organized around vertical concrete planes, which separate and define living areas while establishing a legible rhythm through the architecture. Materials were chosen for their inherent qualities, resulting in varied textures that articulate the structure’s different functions. The arrangement of planes and surfaces also creates a hierarchy of spaces, reinforcing the modern character of the project.
