La Quinta is a weekend house in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. After visiting the site and considering the requirements of the program, we reached the conclusion to respect the identity of the place, built context and height of the neighboring preexistent walls. This last played an important role and set the limits that would define the empty space contained in the house.


The distribution in the ground floor plan came from this concept, where there are no divisions or boundaries within the social space and the outdoor area. For a plan that works all the restrictions inwards and that has no views to the landscape, three voids were proposed in the form of patios; each one with a different character, use and program. These voids give the project its character, producing different perceptions of scale and light- shadow contrasts. 


Location: San Miguel de Allende, MX


Year: 2018

La Quinta es una casa vacacional en San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. Después de visitar la locación y considerar los requisitos del programa, llegamos a la conclusión de respetar la identidad propia del lugar, el contexto y la altura de los muros preexistentes de las casas colindantes. La altura de los muros fue determinante para delimitar el espacio vacío entre ellas.


La distribución en el plano de la planta baja siguió este concepto, por lo que no se colocaron divisiones dentro de las áreas comunes o entre el espacio exterior. Para un plano que trabaja todas las restricciones de forma interna y que no tiene vistas al paisaje, se propusieron tres vacíos en la forma de patios, cada uno con un carácter y uso distinto. Estos vacíos dan al proyecto su carácter, pues reproducen distintas percepciones de escala, y altos contrastes de luz y sombra. Así mismo definen los espacios de silencio y sosiego para el usuario.
