Project Description
[Text as submitted by the Architect] Campestre is a private residence located in San Angel Inn, in Southern Mexico City. It has around 325 m2 of construction distributed between two levels. The House’s plot has a rectangular proportion and its dimensions are 11 m width and 33 m length. Its rectangular proportion guided the house’s design. We distributed the built areas around two patios which also divided public and private spaces. The final built area only represents a third part of the entirety of the land.
We sought to build a house that could be inhabited at the first level alone being it a prerequisite. All the main spaces were kept on the Ground floor. In a T shaped floor plan, public spaces encircle the first patio. Hall, Living room, Dining room and Kitchen constitute the first part of the construction, while private spaces such as Master Bedroom are at the back in the second section of the house. In the upper level, we set the areas that were to be inhabited occasionally by the visitors.
