Sierra Fria is a house located in a residential neighborhood in Mexico City. As the majority of the sites in this neighborhood have regular constructions on three of their four sides, the architectural concept began to explore the idea of the site as a contained void with a structural open grid on top of it. Each quadrant has a different program and a different relationship with the surrounding patio.


This structural grid is intersected in the middle by the staircase and the service units, freeing the surrounding spaces towards the exterior. On top of this light wall-based structure is a solid block that contains the private rooms of the house; these spaces have more restricted openings to outside views. 


Location: Lomas de Chapultepec, CDMX


Year: 2018


Construction: 350 m2


Team: Pablo Pérez Palacios + Alfonso de la Concha Rojas, Miguel Vargas, Ignacio Rodríguez, Alejandra Pavón, José Hadad, Carla Celis, Johnathan Calderón

Sierra Fría es una casa ubicada en Lomas de Chapultepec, en la Ciudad de México. Ya que la mayoría de los lotes en la zona residencial tenían construcciones regulares en tres de sus cuatro lados, el concepto arquitectónico del proyecto decidió explorar la idea de un lote como vacío contenido con una cuadrícula estructural abierta encima del vacío, donde cada cuadrante tiene un programa distinto y establece una relación propia con el patio que le rodea.


Esta cuadrícula estructural está intersectada en el centro por una escalera y los centros de servicio, lo cual crea una apertura hacia el exterior. Encima de esta estructura se encuentra un bloque sólido que contiene las áreas privadas de la casa con aperturas vista restringida.
