La Extraviada House / em-estudio

"La Extraviada is a fish that turned into a dream that turned into a project that turned into a house overlooking the sea." Facing the Pacific Ocean, La Extraviada is built on the side of the hill in front of the quiet and majestic Mermejita beach, totally surrounded by nature. La Extraviada is a house for vacationing in Mazunte, Oaxaca, where it is always hot. Under this premise, the house was designed considering the sea view and the cross-flow of air that keeps the spaces fresh. It is a project that does not fight against the nature of its context due to its proximity to the sea: the weather, the salt, the sun and the humidity, but uses it to its advantage, making it an essential part of the design.
