Mexico City Design Studio Locos has added skylights and solar panels to a circular holiday house In MexicoValle de Bravo to capture as much sunlight as possible.
Casa Girasol is located inside a pine forest west of the Mexico City which is known for its cold and rain climate.
Therefore, the architects tried to build a flooded house with natural light to combat disappointment.
“To achieve this, a traditional home-patio typology was chosen, but with an incomplete ring for the south with an circular geometry,” Hideout,
“This unique gesture allows the forest to embrace the forest and its topography, while the main space directs the ideas of the space, prioritize privacy and creates a more intimate route.”
All the south-hired aspect shines and follows a corridor that connects most places inside the house.
Located on a slope, the building is entered at the lower level through a daggled ladder from the road, but can also be reached from the upper courtyard.
The studio said, “The irregular topography of the land allows for both out and inside for an interesting and fickle form, which is between the intimate ‘in-in-place’ atmosphere, where outdoor and indoor mixture meet together to offer spatial freedom for various climate and activities,” The studio said.
The angles of the roof exclude the top and fans out of the center, which allows a ring of clarestory windows to bring to light from the north, east and west.
In the main living room and TV room, the roof is also tilted to the south – a butterfly -shaped construction and inauguration for additional clusters windows.
“The windows located at the top of the walls not only favor the entry of natural light to the blank space, but also provide total privacy for the inhabitants,” Loks said.
Skylights above the ladder also puncture terracotta tiles, while solar panels are applied to the area with the best direct sun exposure.
The base of the building is formed from the Earth-Tond Pigmented concrete, which forms a heavy counterpart for a mild parquet.
The oak beam in its laminate is exposed from the inside, adding heat to the inner space, where the concrete was left untreated.
The paneling of the wood likes the back wall of the living and dining area, and the kitchen is spread over the kitchen cabinet at the distant end.
A huge concrete block with rough sides forms a kitchen island, in which the burners are integrated on its flat top surface.
Neutral-tonds and black furniture inhabited the interiors, leading to a comfortable environment to enjoy the family.
“Casa Girasol was designed as a family retreat to make dynamic spaces that allow all family members to interact with each other throughout the year, friendly to the changing climate,” Loks said.
Circular or curved houses are quite abnormal, given that most construction systems and furniture layouts depend on vertical walls.
However, some examples around the world include Semi-Golacar house elevated above Brazil’s Moro Cawado Valley And one In the 1960s, a hill was held near Silicon Valley. It was recently rebuilt by Feldman Architecture.
