Located in Rancho Avándaro, the project responds to the premise of maximizing exterior views while ensuring privacy. To achieve this, the house opens toward the western landscape, prioritizing natural light and a strong connection with the surroundings, preserving existing trees and integrating an old open-air irrigation channel. The garden reinforces its integration with the terrain through species such as olive trees and ferns, while implementing climatic strategies that optimize comfort.
The program is distributed across three volumes that combine flat and gabled roofs, housing the private areas, social zones, and a covered terrace. The central volume concentrates the public areas; the double-height ceiling creates a generous space with views toward both the east and west. This core connects to the bedroom wing through a glazed corridor and includes two levels that accommodate four bedrooms.
Materially, the house stands out for its use of carved stone dry set on the exterior and grouted indoors as well as exposed wooden beams and planks on the ceilings. The interior design maintains light wood tones, reinforcing visual continuity throughout all spaces.
Bio Chain + Siman is an architecture and interior design firm, located in Mexico City, led by Renatta Chain and Lina Siman. The idea behind the signature has to do with simplicity; clean lines, natural palettes and a close dialogue between light, space and texture, systematically organizing a set of elements and highlighting their essential characteristics and relationships to form a concept.
