The Design
About Saint Peter House Residenz
Dieses Haus wurde nach der Philosophie des partizipativen Designs, Low-Tech und hoher Individualisierung entworfen und besteht aus Ziegeln, einem Material, das in der Region San Pedro Cholula weit verbreitet ist und auf eine überlieferte Weise aus dem Wissen der örtlichen Arbeitskräfte im Bausystem stammt. Die Haupthülle des Hauses verfügt über 3 Formate zur Unterbringung der Ziegel; Doppelwand, Gitter und Spitze, von denen seine Ausdruckskraft ausgeht, die auf funktionale Weise verteilt sind, um die Innenräume zu schließen, natürliches Licht zu gewinnen oder die Innenräume mit Fenstern in Öffnungen und manchmal durch eine doppelte halbfeste Fassade zu belüften.

Metal lighting fixtures and switches manufactured by blacksmiths and turners from an exclusive design.
- Design Challenge
- The house is architecturally designed so that it responds adequately without the need for high maintenance over time to the adverse climate of Cholula of more than 2000 meters above sea level, close to the tropic of cancer and at a distance of approximately 50 km from the crater of the active volcano Popocatepetl that in Nahuatl local language means mountain that smokes.
- Research
- It is an example of the creative potential that exists through the relationship between workers, architects and clients in an inclusive, equitable and diverse setting where the parties actively intervene in the architectural process providing autonomy, resilience and well-being
- Inspiration
- Designed from the philosophy of participatory design low tech high customization, this house is conceived from the bricks, a material widely used in San Pedro Cholula region in an ancestral way from the knowledge of the local workforce in the construction system. Through the collaboration between workers, architects and the client, a house of high sophistication is achieved through plasticity.
- Project Duration
- Duration: 12 months
Location: San Pedro Cholula, Puebla, Mexico - Operation Flow
- One of the most relevant architectural design factors arises precisely from the possibility of housing growth in the medium or long term, leaving preparations in structure and facilities to be able to house other spaces as it goes growing the family or its purchasing power.
