FOREST VILLA

PROYECT FOR JORGE S.

Located in Fraccionamiento Las Cañadas Zapopan Mexico, the project consisted of a home nestled hillside, confronting a rugged slope that challenged traditional construction norms The architect, inspired by the natural contours of the land, envisioned a structure that harmonized with its surroundings rather than imposing upon them.

The foundation meticulously laid amidst the uneven terrain anchored the dwelling firmly into the earth each stone carefully placed to ensure stability and longevity From the ground up local materials were sourced weathered timber from nearby forests, its grain telling tales of seasons past ru he h age

Roofs a testament to both form and function, curved gently to mimic the undulating hills beyond Tiles, hand-fired by local artisans whispered tales of craftsmanship handed down through generations.

Outside terraced gardens cascaded down the slope their verdant hues a striking contrast to the rugged terrain Native flora mingled with carefully cultivated plants creating a tapestry of colors and textures that evolved with the seasons.

At dusk, as the sun dipped behind distant peaks, the home transformed Lights nestled within alcoves and recesses cast a warm glow, inviting guests to linger and absorb the tranquility of their surroundings. Shadows played upon stone walls, casting ephemeral patterns that spoke of a timeless connection between architecture and nature

In this hillside sanctuary, where tradition met innovation, the home stood as a testament to the harmony that could be achieved when design embraced the land it inhabited
