Toronjos is a vacation home designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings. From its inception, the project prioritized a minimal footprint and a fully sustainable design.

The house is a sanctuary that fosters a connection with nature. A series of staggered walls and large openings along the perimeter provide protection and enclosure, while simultaneously allowing the landscape to flow through the architecture. This strategy promotes not only ventilation and natural light, but also a continuous and intimate connection with the outdoors.

More than just a piece of architecture, the house becomes a space for contemplation and serenity, where nature takes center stage. Every corner frames and celebrates the surrounding views, especially those of the lake. This body of water not only enriches the landscape visually, but also serves an environmental function by collecting rainwater and regenerating the site’s ecosystem, reinforcing the project’s sustainable character.

Located in Valle de Bravo, Copas is a project born from the understanding and respect for the nature that inhabits the place. Its main intention was to create an open upper floor that connects directly with the surrounding treetops, elements that give the essence to the project and create the atmospheres and views throughout the house.
The residence adapts to the natural topography of the site by absorbing the slope and having minimal excavation. We chose to elevate the public spaces one level above the ground, introducing a series of platforms that can be experienced in a variety of ways along with nature.
On the other hand, the first floor houses the bedrooms, guaranteeing the privacy and quietness needed in these areas. The concept of this house is reminiscent of climbing a mountain. As you ascend, you discover the breathtaking views.
