Dream House • The idea for the project was first conceived and took its likeness from a peanut shell: two roomy oval spaces with a lot of light, connected by a low, narrow, dimly lit passageway. The idea for this proposal was based on the elemental functions required by man: a place to live and fellowship with others, which would include a living room, dining room, and kitchen, and another place for sleeping, with a dressing room and bath. The original concept is embodied in two large spaces: diurnal and nocturnal. • The house was designed with the desire to feel, when one enters, like he is going underground, conscious of how singular the space was, without losing the integration of the inside with the green, natural landscape outside. • Once the topographic study was finished, the location of trees was given special attention so that they would not have to be moved or taken out altogether to make room for the structure. Several clay models were created, one dedicated to the analysis and design of the shapes, volumes and spaces outside and the other to plan the inside spaces. Both of these models were developed throughout the course of the entire project with the interest and intensity of an important sculpture. • The windows of the house were placed strategically in places that would look out over the most pleasant parts of the garden, preferably toward the south so that sunlight would still be available in the winter, seeking light the way flowers do. • Contrary to what one might think, this semi-buried house turned out to be sunnier and fuller of light than a conventional house because the windows can be placed anywhere, and the domes allow the entrance of light and sun from above. Ventilation is facilitated by the aerodynamic form of the dwelling which allows free circulation of air throughout. • Project name: Casa Orgánica (Organic House) • Architecture firm: Javier Senosiain Arquitectura Orgánica • Location: Acueducto Morelia 26, Vista del Valle, 53296, Naucalpan de Juárez, State of Mexico, Mexico • Photography: Jaime Jacott, Francisco Lubbert, Senosiain • Principal architect: Javier Senosiain Aguilar • Collaborators: Luis Raúl Enríquez Montiel (crew) • Built area: 178 m² • Site area: 540 m² • Completion year: 1984 • #greenhouse • #tropicalhouse • #landscape
