Project Description

[Text as submitted by architect] Pensamientos Residencial is a set of 4 homes located in Colonia Reforma, 5 minutes from Downtown Oaxaca, where the cost of land has increased considerably, and gentrification means that more and more locals live on the outskirts. The project is located on a property with many qualities, including its location, where there is the opportunity to carry out a project that redensifies the area and shows an opportunity of what can be achieved through design and commercial strategies. A real estate agency commissions the project with the same vision.

The project is divided into 4 houses, each with a land area of ​​120m2, which means that ventilation and natural lighting are achieved through patios and perforations. The built area ranges from 245 m2 to 275 m2 and is divided into three levels. The patios are an important element in the design, since they unify the houses with each other, respecting sunlight and particular programs.
