The NOAH House is located in Valle de Bravo, an area of forest and mountains 2 hours away from Mexico City. This small town of rustic houses and rainy weather is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as boating on the lake, hiking in the surrounding forests, and paragliding, attracting many weekend visitors in search of adventures in this environment


The house faces the green meadow of the Rancho Avándaro golf course, The project is composed of two volumes of different sizes to reduce the impact of its scale and give privacy to its programs. Its design incorporates porticos and double heights, strategically conceived to face the forested climate characteristic of the region. These architectural elements not only provide shelter but also adapt effectively to the environment, offering a home that harmonizes with the surrounding nature.


The public programs are located in the smallest volume: A double-height living room, dining area, a mezzanine with a TV lounge, as well as a large covered terrace that acts as the extension of the living room and it is also the most active space of the house. An intermediate space between inside and outside. Both: A covered outdoor space or an open indoor space. This porous and flexible space has a direct connection with the garden and the pool and also laterally with the kitchen which acts as the articulator of the two bodies.


The longitudinal volume houses, in addition to the kitchen, the bedrooms, cellar, parking and service areas. This body has a perimeter portico, which provides shade and covered terraces on the ground floor. An interstitial space from which to see the rain and protect yourself from outside conditions.


Materials and tectonics.


The two bodies into which the house is divided are composed of a concrete basement and an upper part of volcanic stone. The aim is to play with the perception of these materials by inverting the pre-sent order. The base is made with a smooth material, without texture, and with a lighter appearance, while the upper part is composed of a heavier material, with a rough texture and greater visual presence.


The concrete base is transferred to the interiors of the house, however, the stone of the upper part becomes a wooden paneling to provide great lightness, warmth, and comfort to the inside.

La Casa NOAH se localiza en Valle de Bravo, una zona de bosque y montañas a 2 horas de la Ciudad de México. Este pequeño poblado de casas rusticas y clima lluvioso es uno de los es un destino popular para actividades al aire libre como la navegación en el lago, senderismo en los bosques circundantes y vuelo en parapente, atrayendo a muchos visitantes de fin de semana en busca de aventuras en este entorno


Construida frente al prado verde del campo de golf de Rancho Avándaro, La casa Noah se compone de dos prismas de distintos tamaños con la idea de reducir el impacto de su escala y dar privacidad a sus programas. Su diseño incorpora pórticos y dobles alturas, estratégicamente concebidos para enfrentar el clima boscoso característico de la región. Estos elementos arquitectónicos no solo brindan resistencia, sino también se adaptan de manera eficaz al entorno, ofreciendo una vivienda que armoniza con la naturaleza circundante.


En el cuerpo mas pequeño se localizan los programas públicos: La sala -en doble altura-, el comedor, un estudio en mezzanine, asi como una gran terraza cubierta que se proyecta como la extension de la sala y el espacio de mayor activad de la casa. Un espacio intermedio en entre el adentro y el afuera. Un espacio exterior techado o un espacio interior abierto, como se prefirera entender. Este espacio permeable y flexible tiene conexión directa con el jardin y la alberca y de forma lateral tambien con la cocina que actua como el articulador entre los dos cuerpos.


El cuerpo longitundal alberga, ademas de la cocina, las habitaciones, bodega, estacionamiento y areas de servicio. Este cuerpo cuenta con un portico perimetral, que dota de sombra y terrazas cubiertas a la planta baja. Un espacio intersticial desde donde ver la lluvia y protegerse de las condiciones exteriores.


Materiales y tectónicas.


Los dos cuerpos en los que se divide la casa, estan compuestos por un basamento de concreto aparente y una parte superior de piedra volcanina. Se pretende asi jugar con la percepción de dichos materiales inviertiendo el orden precosenvido. La base se hace con un material liso, sin textura y de aparecia mas ligera, en cambio la parte superior esta compuesta por un material mas pesado, de textura rugosa y mayor carga visual.


El basamento de concreto se trasfiere tambien a los interiores de la casa mas sin embargo la parte superior de piedra se convierte por dentro en un panelado de madera de gran ligeresa, calidez y confort
