About Espacio Kaab 주택
에스파시오 카압(Espacio Kaab)은 멕시코 콜리마주 노게라스의 강가 경사지에 자리한 젊은 부부를 위한 주택이다. 이 설계는 일본적 영향과 멕시코 현지의 건축 전통을 결합한다. 돌, 흙, 목재를 강재와 콘크리트와 함께 사용하여 주택이 주변 경관과 시각적으로 어우러지도록 했다. 외부 공간에는 내구성이 뛰어난 석재, 콘크리트, 추쿰(Chukum) 스투코를 선택했고, 보호된 공간에는 목재와 위커를 적용했다. 동일한 천연석 바닥이 실내외로 이어지며 주택과 그 주변 환경 사이의 경계를 부드럽게 완화한다.

- Unique Properties
- Espacio Kaab is a house project for a young couple, where the fundamental requirement was the interaction with the environment and the use of materials visually and conceptually integrated with the natural context, such as stone and earth, giving a modern touch with steel and concrete. The difficult topography of the land gave the opportunity to do a strong and unique character in the area, is a project with a lot of interesting spaces, beautiful views and environments that blend with the nature.

- Production Technology
- For the selection of materials, several criteria were used, one of the most important was that the project should integrate visually with the area, therefore priority was given to materials with a natural tendency, such as wood, stone and earth.
Trying to minimize maintenance and future restorations, we selected the most durable materials for outdoor spaces, such as stone, concrete and "Chukum" stucco, while the more delicate materials such as wood and wicker were placed in protected areas. - Design Challenge
- The land of the project is next to a river surrounded by nature and had a complicated topography, it is immersed in an area of houses and historical buildings such as the Cathedral, the Rangel museum and ecological park.
These characteristics challenges us to design a harmonious and functional project, but also gave us the opportunity to take advantage of the site and develop a project interesting spaces, beautiful views and environments. - Research
- It was decided to keep the design team small, giving very personalized attention to the clients throughout the design process. A design supervisor and a lead designer spent a great deal of time analyzing the owners and their spatial needs.
Multiple visits were made to the site and its surroundings to analyze the cultural and natural context to be rescued, and once a meticulous topographic survey was completed, work continued on the project, visiting the site and talking with the clients on an alternating basis to receive feedback throughout the design process. - Inspiration
- The architectural style to be achieved was a mixture of Japanese style that integrated elements and techniques of Mexican architecture, mainly of the local type, which can be observed in Nogueras and other neighboring towns of our building.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2 2020 in Nogueras, Colima, México and finished in December 15, 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The main concept of the build was to accomplish spaces where the boundaries between inside and outside blur: where the ranges and colors of the environment integrate into the shades of the building, and where the inhabitants can walk barefoot across the considered choice of the same natural stone floor without distinguishing whether they’ve come out or into the house and delight in the phenomenology that this materiality awakens in all of their senses.
