Home in Amatlan

A private retreat for two nestled at the foot of the mountains in Amatlán, just 1.5 hours from Mexico City. Its double-height architecture opens fully to the landscape, with light curtains that breathe with the wind and volcanic stone, local wood, and native vegetation woven together effortlessly throughout.

Gabion walls filled with stones gathered from the site itself root the structure literally and symbolically in the land, while open frames keep the indoors in constant dialogue with the surrounding mountains. The bathroom draws natural light from above and houses a deep soaking tub, while a private jacuzzi is tucked among the trees just outside. A private pool completes this intimate, artistic escape.
