Architecture & House Design

This house has been built to replace the old owner’s building on the site. The client’s wish was to make a two storey opened area connecting the living room and the garden and it was successfully fulfilled. The house has been planned and constructed with effectiveness and economy in mind – there is a water tank to collect and reuse water, a lot of opening windows for good ventilation, mostly light and practical finishings used for all surfaces to reduce sun heating. This is a very practical residence for one family, plus there are guest bedroom and bathroom on the main level.

This beautiful modern house was built it Juarez, Mexico by Arquitectura en Movimiento. It’s name “The Cubo” sounds absolutely natural when you see it – the house has strict and sober exterior with sharp geometric shapes, actually reminding a couple of intersecting cubes. The house has a lot of big windows, most of which a looking towards the back yard since the building is U-shaped, so it is very light inside. Generally, the Cubo’s interior is very modern, practical and well-planned. In our opinion it looks more friendly and comfortable inside than outside and would be perfect for a young progressive family with two kids. There is also a little pound in the middle of composition. We would probably prefer to have Jacuzzi there, but it would not look as harmonic as this pound does.
