Caucaso House

JJRR Arquitectura designed a single-family house in a residential area of Mexico City, which opens to the garden through wide glass windows, linking the interior with the exterior.

Located in a residential area of Mexico City, the Caucaso House rises 1,3m above the level of sidewalk in order to take advantage of the view, since the land is located in a privileged point, where you can see the west behind the horizon and over the tops of the trees, giving place to the basement floor which is constructed one meter below the level of sidewalk where parking and services areas are located.

On the first floor, through a double-height lobby, we found the social areas, oriented towards the west, as well as two bedrooms facing the east, both with bath and room dresses, giving the feeling of living on one floor. On the second floor through a bridge which crosses the double-height is located the master bedroom and a fourth bedroom, both with their respective terraces, bathroom and dressing rooms.

The house is built on a logic and apparent structure consisting of concrete, stone, steel and glass where vegetation is an important part. Formed by a single space, the living and dining room has a terrace running all along. When opening the windows side by side the space becomes integrated with the interior coexisting at the same time with the garden.
