The materiality of concrete and the regional stone slab 'gray san andrés', along with the selected tones for the rest of the elements, create a somewhat cold, modern atmosphere that, when combined with the green of the garden, the warmth of the furniture, and natural light, compose a pleasant and extremely relaxing space for the user.Text description provided by the architects.The project is located on a conventional rectangular plot of 325 m2, in a residential area in Culiacán, Sinaloa. It borders to the north and west with other buildings, to the south with a connection to the road and the east with a tree-lined pedestrian path that is part of the residential area, which favors the layout in an "L" shape seeking to contain a large garden and orient the views of the project towards the green canopy of the trees.As part of the large garden contained by the volumes, there is a terrace, which in turn houses a pool within its limits, located in the center of the project, exposed to the garden and the vastness of the sky.The program is divided into two blocks, each represented by a rectangular body, independently of the other. The first of the blocks welcomes visitors with a large garage and some service spaces contained in the volume, while the second contains the everyday spaces of a house with two bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen, all facing east, inviting the user to constantly interact with the outside.
