*블랙우드 슬로프 루프 [ Lopez Gonzalez Studio ] A Suburban House in Xalapa, Mexico

Lopez Gonzalez Studio-A Suburban House in Xalapa, Mexico
로페즈 곤잘레스
Located in a leafy suburb in Xalapa, a city in east central Mexico, this family house by Mexico City based architects Lopez Gonzalez Studio stands out amid the lush vegetation in its stark form and charcoal hue. Astutely modern in design, conceived as a monolithic cubic volume punctured by an irregular composition of red-framed windows, the house nevertheless harmoniously integrates into its natural setting, courtesy of its rock-like dark exterior and jagged roof line. Inside, a minimalist aesthetic and muted colour palette allows the verdant views to take centre stage while a spacious courtyard and scenic roof terrace further enhance the property’s connection with nature.

Coupled with the slim, red hued window frames, the abstract composition of differently sized openings imbues the sombre, dark building volume with a sense of subtle playfulness. Despite the seemingly random configuration, each window has been thoughtfully sized and placed in relation to the interior configuration, daylight requirements and corresponding views that they elegantly frame. As the architects explains, the “windows confuse the threshold that separates interior and exterior, generating an expanding sensation”. Conversely, at night, when the building disappears into the darkness, the geometric matrix of illuminated windows offers glimpses of quotidian bliss.

In contrast with the house’s exterior, the interior embraces a light colour palette of white plastered walls and natural wood surfaces, with white-veined black marble flooring constituting the only dark tones. From ceiling beams and wall panelling to both built-in and free-standing furniture, the extensive use of wood imbues the sparsely decorated rooms with warmth despite the minimalist interior design, as well as complements the verdant views and establishes a conversation with the surrounding landscape. Offering a striking contrast to both the wood-swathed interiors and green-rich vistas, the previously mentioned red-hued window frames provide vibrant accents, much like flowers in a meadow, further grounding the house into its lush setting.

멕시코를 기반으로 하는 건축스튜디오 Lopez Gonzalez Studio가 설계한 훼밀리 하우스는 무성한 초목사이에 눈에 띄는 목탄색조의 형상을 갖고 있습니다. 레드컬러 프레임 창문의 불규칙적인 패턴 배치와 이를 감각적으로 마무리하는 현대적인 디자인 터치 그리고 이 모든 것들을 포용하는 모놀리틱한 볼륨은 어두운 외관으로 주변과 조화를 이룹니다. 이를 연장하는 내부의 미니멀한 건축환경은 외부 자연환경을 내부로 유입시킵니다.
