Likewise, Copali House functions functionally for the rest of the family, meeting the needs of the inhabitants of the house and other users.
Visually, the house is made up of a contemporary Mexican architectural style, where we can find different rustic finishes such as wood and natural stone contrasted and juxtaposed with modern finishes such as flattened plaster with paint, ceramic floors, steel beam and tempered glass. , which together with modern lighting plays an important role in creating the atmosphere that surrounds this project.
It is important to mention that we have a helical staircase which works as a visual finishing touch and gives a touch of modernity to the interior, seen from two points: at the main access to the house and from the axis that makes up the kitchen, dining room and living room which They are double height.
The pool finishes giving that touch of calm when contemplating it from the axis that makes up the living room, dining room and kitchen, combined with the double height, the juxtaposition of natural finishes and textures with contemporary finishes, bathed by modern lighting creating a beautiful game of light and shadow ends up being a totally pleasant, comfortable and unique space.
Finally, the terrace of the master bedroom has an exquisite view of the Cointizio dam in the distance, and immediately a very pleasant view of the house’s own pool. Having a coffee in the morning on this terrace is something unique and surprising.
Given the orientation of the land, the main façade, located towards the south, was almost entirely closed to the outside, thus allowing it to be protected from the sun’s radiation for most of the day and year, otherwise the rear façade is oriented. Towards the north it allowed us to open it completely with double-height windows that allow us to contemplate the beautiful views already mentioned above towards the Cointzio dam and the house’s own pool. Generating an introspective architecture and creating its own atmosphere within it.
