House in Chihuahua - interesting geometry and modern style

The design studio PRODUCTORA from Mexico created a private House in Chihuahua. It is located on the golf course and occupies an area of ??4,840 square foot. The residence was designed to meet the special climatic conditions in this region, because the difference between day and night air temperatures can reach twenty degrees. To balance these extreme drops, the house was partly built in the hillside to use the heat of the earth. The interior of the mansion is organized around a series of terraces and holes in the roof, which provide natural lighting and ventilation, as well as allow you to enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
