How we design for the heat

From the first sketch to handing over the keys.

01
Site
We read the site: orientation, trees that stay, south-east winds and the afternoon shade.
02
Ground floor
Social life opens to the garden. Load-bearing walls, wide windows and the kitchen at the centre.
03
Upper floor
Bedrooms shielded from the west, with the crema maya stone volume as the façade.
04
Pergola and lattice
Shade before air conditioning: a wooden pergola on the terrace and a lattice that lets the air through.
05
Garden and pool
Local plants and water for the heat. This is how we hand over the house, ready to live in.

Before the first block is laid, you can already walk through the house. Renders and plans to decide materials, light and layout with you, before building.
