Lucke Orozco House by Hernandez Silva Architects

This is contemporary house located in Guadalajara, Jalisco & designed by Hernandez Silva. Lucke Orozco House is a two leveled house which offers continuing spacious areas and a peaceful atmosphere generated by the trees and plants that appear all over the place. The use of spotlights contributes to a soft light which will create some lovely private and intimate spaces. For the second level there was designed a special lattice which will allow the natural light to invade the interior and create a warm and friendly atmosphere.

In order to achieve a powerful formal concept, the use of the materials is almost even in all the areas, wood extends from the floor to walls and doors, ceramic floor with perfect interior finishing covers the entire surface, the volumes that stand out are a powerful and well defined spaces, in particular the raw concrete fireplace that gives strength to the big open living and the other which is a great hanging wall that divides spaces and fusions as part of the whole.

Guadalajara has an extraordinary weather, even though its sometimes hot, the house’s terraces are almost always peaceful all year round, the lush vegetation is always in the gardens, so the house in its social areas opens as a large terrace, the windows are stored and exterior and interior integrates as one. The house is jealous of its privacy, so it has a double circulation where you can flow freely through private spaces, while separating common and personnel areas.

A special lattice was designed to the west side for the second level, which allows horizontal rays of sunlight and great view at the same time, the lattice is forged in two pieces that were previously glazed in advance with automotive paint, which are in addition, forming a hanging box so they do not allow any water access. We can resume that the house is born of the two brackets that when joined a monolithic, concise and dynamic volume is formed, where the site’s characteristics as well as the transparent and depth tours are always perceived and enjoyed.
