The Design

About Saint Peter House 住宅

这座房子的设计理念是参与式设计、低技术、高定制化，它是用砖块构思的，砖块是圣佩德罗乔卢拉地区广泛使用的材料，其祖传方式源自当地劳动力在建筑系统中的知识。房屋的主表皮有 3 种容纳砖块的格式；双层墙、格子和尖刺从其表现力开始，以功能性的方式分布，以关闭、获得自然光或通过开口处的窗户和其他时间通过双层半固体立面为室内空间通风。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The main skin of the house has 3 formats for accommodating the brikcs; double wall, lattice and spike from where its expressiveness starts, which are distributed in a functional way to close, gain natural light or ventilate the interior spaces with windows in openings and other times through a double semi-solid facade between the brick wall and glass, getting privacy and staying safe.
Dimensions & Packaging: Built surface 118 m2
The project has the possibility of progression, so that the client himself can build and explore other materials, textures or colors in the composition of the future architecture
Tags: innovation, sophistication, comfort, proyectocafeina, brick, design, architecture,
Production Technology: Hand made bricks, some artifacts are manufactured by means of different materials and local crafts such as sinks, inspired by metate, a pre-Hispanic material of volcanic origin and high resistance made by artisan women. 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.
