IMA House by Ezequiel Farca Studio
Located in San José del Cabo, Mexico, IMA House is a house designed by Ezequiel Farca Studio in 2020. This property ombines large concrete walls and patios, creating an atmosphere of serenity and fostering a strong connection with surrounding nature and the ocean, while encouraging natural light and cross ventilation.
Patios And Terraces Foster Airflow And Ocean Views
The mentioned patios, terraces and program are connected to it, which allows to introduce natural light and encourage cross ventilation. The use of the selected natural materials serves to further connect the home to the site, blurring the lines between nature and architecture. The colors and texture offered by this materials function as a perfect framework for generous views to the blue of the ocean and the infinity of the sky.
Second-Level Bedroom Volume Directs Guests Through Private Patio
The access has a blind facade where the protruding volume of the second-level bedroom serves as a roof that directs residents and guests through a private patio with a tree and basin toward the main entrance.
Contemplative Space Created By Incision In Earth’s Walls And Waterfall
An untamed, organically grown garden is located on the lateral side. A small incision on one of the earth’s walls leads to a waterfall, making this a contemplative space. The eastern facade is completely open toward the ocean. The presence of the sun has been modulated by imposing concrete slabs over the public area on the ground floor.
Concrete Slabs Act As Terraces And Control Light To San José House
Upstairs, the slabs serve as terraces for bedrooms. A pool at the edge of the site marks a thin line that blends into the horizon. The main bedroom has a real connection with the ocean, which can be appreciated from two different angles, as well as a terrace, fire pit, and private Jacuzzi.
