CASA MONARCA | Infante Arquitectos

The Monarca house is located in an exclusive subdivision of Morelia Michoacán, it was conceived from the natural context offered by the golf course, on the first visit that was made to the site we realized that it had a rich shape and texture, the part superficial a mound of earth and stone gave note of simplicity, but at the time of digging to define the structural multiple textures were generated. This is how the idea of ​​this house was born, it would be a house full of contained expressiveness, turned inwards, its architectural wealth would be within it. Although there would be an artificial site, we would try to incorporate, transfer and include the materials that the region offers us, adding them to the house in a relationship of perpetual coexistence.

Its exterior endowed with a solid body which, if it were a monolith imitating the terrain, is the formal axis, different subtractions in various areas make up its volumetric game, giving a correct harmony between the built and the natural environment, having an appropriate language with the context. The various movements give guidance to the vain-mass relationship, allowing adequate ventilation and lighting; large glazed parts generate the privileged views to the outside to have a domain and correlation with the outside.

Responding to the topography and location of the property, the slope was used to zoning, on the ground floor the public area is located and on the upper floor the intimate area. It is accessed by a flat plank of parota wood that serves as a door to receive its inhabitants, already immersed in the house its floor is almost free, on the left side the room is contained by a square of glass with viguería in " I "of structural steel, allowing the entry of light that bathes the tile wall, creating a space in contact with the outside but private with the adjoining house, on the right side is an area that can be used for two different functions either a hall or failing a study that would be privatized with sliding screens according to the client decided to do so, framed by the parota wood plane giving a warm atmosphere to your delight; to access the dining room and kitchen a series of steps is proposed to handle a different level and create movement on the first level, in turn a white quarry frame that would serve structurally and as a boundary between these areas is added, already being in the middle Upstairs the kitchen and dining room share the same direct league, facilitating communication and service, only delimited by floor changes that enrich the view, the kitchen with a combination of orange, black granite and parota give that exquisite touch to this important Family living area, the dining room with its main view of the garden continues to maintain that strong line between inside and outside.

Upstairs you will find a lobby that redirects the intimate area, in front of this hall a hallway guides the way to the family terrace an important area for the inhabitants, and being inside the terrace it is present in all its splendor the golf course, with a view that dominates the whole green, feeling part of the natural environment, a wooden ceiling and a flagstone wall speak of that coexistence; Going back to the lobby are the rooms, the main one with a view and a balcony towards the outside where you can see the green and the forested mountains in the same way, the other two no less important rooms have their best views towards the back garden. This is how Casa Monarca comes to life within the subdivision, becoming one in it.
