GLR arquitectos as Architects

In a privileged land occupied by an obsolete building, we face the dilemma of remodel or demolish it to make way for a new residential project. Together with the customer opts for the latter alternative and proceeds to demolish, adjusting levels under the new scheme, which will seek to exploit the views of the city.


The back garden disappears, leaving only a narrow contemplative garden, which acquires a special character through the original cut of the existing rock.


The kitchen, breakfast area, family room and master bedroom enjoy visually that effect. Towards the front of the property, a large semi-covered terrace is built around the pool with infinity effect, which makes us forget for a moment the urban condition of the project, thanks to the immediacy of the large park opposite the property, which it joins visually with green areas Club Campestre Monterrey.


Inside, a large double height living room with a concrete set of skylights apparent becomes the heart of the project, due to the interesting effect of the natural light that floods controlled. Around him, the rooms, terraces, home theater, office bridges and develop completing the program.


In the last level, said office enjoys splendid views of the city, as well as being open by a large window to the living room double height, achieving a sense of great transparency and have floating bridge on the terrace.


The materials, mainly gray concrete, wood oak, black granite facades and interior and exterior white flattened, you bring to the project a decidedly sober and contemporary character.
