Behind the Design of an Eco-Friendly Home in Mexico<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

2023 Best of Year Winner for On the Boards Single Family Residential<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a home situated in the drought-susceptible region of Ciudad L\u00f3pez Mateos, Mexico, Desai Chia Architecture<\/a> and MT Arquitectos<\/a> envisioned an eco-friendly oasis for a family of four oriented around a courtyard that doubles as a collection point for rainwater. A standout semicircular staircase anchors the two-story, 6,000-square-foot plan, and floor-to-ceiling glazing ushers in daylight. The concrete facade will be cast in place and act as a natural thermal barrier. Interior walls will be finished with an ancient Mayan stucco technique made from a mixture of cement and boiled bark sourced from the native Yucat\u00e1n chukum tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
