Cuata II House / Aldana Sánchez

A white cube compresses the first stage of construction of a residence in a suburban family cluster of narrow grounds, the double-height windows refresh the interiors while the polished finishes resist the intense weather of the Mexican southeast. Twin House II is a progressive residence that belongs to an arrangement of two houses in a subdivided estate located in a private suburb of Villahermosa. Since the properties are narrow, the layout of the buildings sought to generate shared voids for ventilation, lighting, and wide views that could be used for social interaction. The neighborhood has variable lots, self-built housing, and frequent architectural stereotypes so we opted for neutrality in design.
