Located in a prestigious area of Mexico City, the concrete house is arranged in an "H" pattern and consists of two parallel pavilions and a third that connects them.
Named Casa Roel, the family home was designed by Chilean architects Felipe Assadi and Francisca Pulido in collaboration with Mexican architect Isaac Broid. The residence is designed for a couple with two children, on a sloping site with plants growing under the structure. The street-side volume is dressed in a wooden lattice with a hexagonal pattern, which helps to reduce heat and ensure privacy for its occupants. On the main floor, residents can live in more than one room, while two lower levels house a photography studio, service equipment and parking spaces. Oriented to the southwest, the interior is bathed in natural light. Glazed and retractable walls provide a strong connection with the outdoors. On the roof, the architects placed a narrow pool, a play area and a barbecue, all overlooking a beautiful and green view.
