myrtle tree

Hernandez Silva Arquitectos's house is located in one of the oldest residential colonies in Guadalajara. The irregular shape of the space generates a sharp corner surrounded by the great foliage of trees that are already located on the sidewalk. The Architects scheme is defined in perspective by two very evident brackets where one embraces the front and the other embraces the garden. And the union of both generates a void that tops in the heart of the house with an internal large myrtle tree. The house was designed with high, generous and continuing spaces which allow the continuity of the view all the way to the background. 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 and the other which is a great hanging wall that divides spaces and fusions as part of the whole.
