Casa Catorce


Casa Catorce is a single-family home that houses a series of spaces resembling a boutique hotel, concealed behind a reserve and narrow blind facade with a basalt lattice that, due to its composition, allows only the necessary amount of natural light, creating a clear barrier between the climatic conditions of Villahermosa, Tabasco, and the more private spaces of the residence. The contrast between the minimalist façade and a sturdy gate crafted from burned rustic wood adds a touch of brutalism and mystery to the house, completely isolating it from the urban context.

The house is laid out in an L shape, with corridors and spaces expanding as you progress through it. The majestic garden becomes the focal point of the architectural program, with the sounds of water overflowing from the infinity pool and the wind caressing the lush vegetation of the abundant garden, providing the inhabitants with the necessary elements for deep relaxation. As a result, its outdoor spaces become protagonists in everyday use. Its dark and profound material palette consists of exclusive and luxurious elements.
