Casa del Viento is located in Tepoztlán, Morelos, Mexico and was designed by A-001 Taller de Arquitectura. The home is fun and stylish on the inside, making use of bright colors to add accents throughout the spaces.
As a form of tribute, “Casa del Viento” faces north to the Tepozteco to fill every interior space with a 180 degrees view of a rock formation that changes personality as the sun journeys the sky. Its slender form allow harnessing the natural lighting from the south and the view from the north, as well as creating cross ventilation in all the rooms. A continuous contrast in the use of contemporary vs. regional materials, constructs a reflection of the cultural mix that characterizes Tepoztlan. Cast concrete used in the floors and limestone in the exterior and interior walls gives the house performance a thermal insulation and a low maintenance. The application of sustainability techniques as rainwater capture and use of solar heaters, support maximum energy and natural resources.
