Casa JR | Tapalpa, Mexico | 2024
[AE Arquitectos / Andres Escobar Arquitectos + PERIMETRAL / P E R I M E T R A L + CENTRAL / CENTRAL]
Located in the mountainous landscape of Tapalpa, in the state of Jalisco, western Mexico, Casa JR is conceived as an exercise in inhabiting a terrain rather than occupying it. Set within a region characterized by pine and oak forests, volcanic geology, steep slopes and a temperate mountain climate, the project explores the possibility of establishing architecture as a continuation of the landscape itself.
Rather than approaching the site as a surface to be transformed, the design emerges from a sustained dialogue with its existing topography, vegetation and geological memory. Text description by the architects | Visit www.theradicalproject.com to read more about the project.
