House on a slope

This 130m2 house is located on a rural area adjacent to Mexico City. Built with a budget of 60,000.00 USD, the house employs standard materials and solutions as well as a simple structure. The remaining three facades are solid to protect the interior from strong winds and assure privacy from the street at the lower level. The slope is reflected on the glassed facade in the area that is underground, continuing with the vertical circulation that follows the inclination of the site. In order to accentuate the diagonal tensions of the topography and the house, the rectangles that conform the facades turned into triangles by simply painting them in two tones.
