Casa Acolhúas

As if it were the case of a precious musical instrument, SPRB Arquitectos’ house in Gadalajara is a robust wrapping that develops around the position of a majestic pianoforte.

As if it were the case of a precious musical instrument, the house is a robust wrapping that develops around the position of a majestic Bösendorfer. The main spaces relate to both the central courtyard and the surrounding gardens, either for functional relationships or for comfort issues given the mild climate of Guadalajara.

 

Introverted to its neighbors, the house take advantage of its privileged position of contiguity to a public park. To the orthogonality of the plan, the section is contrasted with its different interior reliefs of the roofs in successive variations of scale, intimacy and hierarchy of spaces. An honest materiality has been intended, both in its construction systems and in its finishes.
