This plot is located on the outskirts of Lake Valle de Bravo, with a steep slope that becomes a design factor along with the existing vegetation. The challenge was to design two houses on the same plot. Taking advantage of the slope, a house was proposed on the upper part and another on the lower part, divided by an internal street that provides access to an intermediate parking lot. Since the two houses are staggered due to the slope of the terrain, this allows for spectacular lake views from all habitable spaces in the house. The existing vegetation adapts perfectly to the architectural program, becoming an integral element of the design of the two houses, which, together with their materiality and geometry, create a harmonious ensemble that blends into the surrounding environment.
