zozaya designs house with pool suspended over mexico’s coast

casa Piscina del Cielo: A House Between Sky and Sea

 

Casa Piscina del Cielo, designed by Zozaya Arquitectos, rises from the coastal slopes of Mexico’s Pacific coast as each residence and panorama intervention. The challenge is about on a web site of bizarre topography, the place pure contours and historical boulders guided the architectural response. The architects inform designboom: ‘From the outset, the client asked for something extraordinary, a home that would defy convention, a structure that felt singular and paradigm-breaking.’

 

The house’s entrance is framed by sturdy geometries and stone surfaces, main guests via two monumental doorways and right into a central courtyard with its dramatic swimming pool. Here, large rocks have been uncovered throughout excavation and preserved in-place to turning into sculptural monoliths round which the house’s program facilities.

From this central stone courtyard, Zozaya Arquitectos’ Casa Piscina del Cielo unfolds. The architects shelter the principle dwelling area beneath a hovering palapa, open on all sides to sea breezes and pure mild. Under this thatched cover, breezy dwelling, eating, and kitchen areas lengthen into each other, accumulating to create an enormous communal area that feels directly wide-open and sheltered.

 

With service areas organized subtly to 1 facet. This permits the principle dwelling areas to movement outward onto a lined terrace the place a pergola, grill, and bar gaze outward to the horizon.

 

Casa Piscina del Cielo’s most spectacular ingredient is probably its swimming pool, which initiatives 27 meters (90 ft) over the cliffside. Suspended above the cliffy shoreline and waves past, the pool’s flooring is punctuated by a sq. glass window, framing a watery view all the way down to surf and creating the feeling of floating between sea and sky. This single gesture defines the challenge’s title and character.

Alongside the courtyard, a cinema and workplace area neighbor a visitor suite that opens onto a personal terrace. Further down, essentially the most secluded degree incorporates the principle bed room and a gymnasium, each dealing with a quiet terrace that frames distant ocean views. From this sheltered perch, the floating silhouette of the pool above turns into a part of the coastal panorama.

 

The panorama design, executed by Taller Entorno, is integral to the architectural intent. Plantings and pathways are woven into the terrain in order that the home seems to emerge from the hillside fairly than dominate it. This method, the architects create a continuity between pure slope, the jagged stone formations, and the constructed area.

 

Zozaya Arquitectos curates a fabric palette knowledgeable by regional authenticity. Woven palm defines the palapa and inside ceilings, parota wooden lends heat, and chukum plaster recollects the encompassing earth. Exposed concrete, metal pergolas, and wooden decks reinforce a dialogue between native custom and a method that’s nearly brutalist. The interiors, led by DRDS, lengthen this method with restrained detailing and furnishings that echo the textures of the positioning.
