Three Brutalist Structures Combine as an Otherworldly Retreat in the Mexican Countryside

Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. 

Project Details:

Location: El Peñón, Estado de México, Mexico

Architect: JSa

Interior Design: JSa

Landscape Design: Taller Nuevos Territorios

Footprint: 8,073 square feet

From the Architect: "RF harmonizes a single-family housing program in three volumes that embed and esteem the domestic space in a pristine environment. It’s a tight network that offers several degrees of independence and occupation as it adapts to the ever evolving needs of the family over time.

"During its design, we favored the integration of humble, yet commanding materials such as wood and raw concrete —thought as an expression of liquid rock— to present a series of permeable and floating monoliths, that resemble pre-existing natural objects in their context."
