Tapalpa, Mexico

There is service included with a chauffer a gardener and two ladies that help with the kitchen and beds. House PE is a dwelling that starts with the idea of two families sharing one house. Each family has their own private areas but shares the social areas (dinning, living rooms, etc) of the house. The house is located in the forest of Tapalpa Mountain Range in Jalisco, Mexico. The orientation of the house allows for Southwest views to the mountains and a large forest reserve. Designed by Andres Escobar Taller Arquitectnica the topography and numerous trees on the property was a major challenge for the design, a decision was made to preserve all the trees and to compliment the natural slope. This allowed the private rooms on the second floor as well as the common spaces on the ground floor access to the gardens. The entire ground floor is coated with local stone which supports a steel structure that supports the top floor that doesn't have any structural elements. The combination of brick, stone, slate and timber are perfectly balanced with layers of texture and a blend of eclectic furnishings. Read less
