House in Torón II / IUA Ignacio Urquiza Arquitectos

The El Torón Reserve is located on the coast of Oaxaca, it is a 30-hectare extension voluntarily dedicated to conservation. The care of this territory, its flora, and fauna, as well as the understanding of how to intervene in it, is what allows us to call it a reserve and lays the foundation for everything we project within it. This house, as its name suggests, is the second within the complex. Designed in collaboration with apda - Ana Paula de Alba for the interiors and furniture, the proposal seeks to establish a direct relationship and continuous contact between the user and the environment. The house is composed of four independent pavilions, their arrangement responds to the topography of the site and its existing vegetation. The first module houses the common areas and the other three house the bedrooms; two main ones in front of the bay and one inside the jungle.
