Los Guayabos
Rodriguez + De Mitri

Los Guayabos is a project composed of three independent houses on a small two hundred square meters plot.

The project is conceived as an assembly of volumes and voids around a central courtyard.

The houses are designed for a maximum of two users each and consider the minimum spaces necessary for the operation of each section of the project. As you move within the project, one can experience changes in heights, transitions of light and darkness, and changing views towards interior courtyards.

Throughout the design process, the importance of the landscape  became evident. It is composed of endemic species that attract pollinators and give a natural magic to the five courtyards of the project.

At the ends of each volume, the parapets become large planters with vegetation that hang subtly over the facades.

The project is constructed mainly by brick and reinforced concrete.

All the walls are covered by a 'skin' of 'white clay' bricks made by hand in Puebla, Mexico

A meticulous study was made of the brickwork to create drawings, patterns and finishes on its facades, creating a notion of timelessness and giving the project an artisanal character.
