Tadao Ando's first house in Mexico is a perfect blend of cool, Japanese elegance and sultry, sun-drenched space. Located within the Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, the home consists of two volumes. While a square ring containing the private zone is embedded in the hillside, a Z-shaped component for guests forms the top of the three-story building.
Commissioned as a primary residence by a couple with three children, the 16,350-square-foot house is only a 10-minute drive from the city. But it seems much farther, thanks to the site's lush greenery and spectacular view of the Sierra Las Mitras Mountains. Integrating terraces and outdoor spaces, Ando's scheme maximizes this scenery while preserving his clients' privacy.
