This project was completed by Mexican studio M + N Arquitectos in 2010.
A glass bridge connects a concrete house with wonky windows to an artist’s studio in Puebla, Mexico. Walls of barefaced concrete surround both the inside and outside of the only bedroom, where a narrow window is cut away from one corner. Concrete-framed windows elsewhere in the house are angled towards specific views of the surrounding landscape and sky. The architects said: “The proposal began with a generally undefined idea which allowed for the possibility of change and the introduction of new ideas along the way in relation to the spatial and architectural plans in general. This lead to the creation of a two-stage plan: one for living and one for work. The idea evolved into highlighting an architectural plan while visually differentiating various modules made with like materials where each one has its own distinct goal or intention depending on options in relation to temperature, acoustics, or the distinctive qualities of any given living space.”
