Winter House: a dance of different colors in the middle of unspoiled nature

Textures, volumes, cracks, bays that narrow or extend the space according to need: this is the Winter House by LAAR, in Yucatan, whose block spans emphasize the structures that seem to dance side by side

The goal of LAAR architects was to build a single housing unit that would serve as a refuge and a place to enjoy the nature. This is one of the main reasons why the architecture is distributed in four blocks, increasing the permeability between inside and outside

Starting from the avenue, a material dialogue is created which reflects the sincerity of the elements, such as stone and wood. The space is ordered by a north-south axis that seems to be the backbone of the house, reaching the green oasis of the Country Club

Towards the golf course there is a game of differentiated volumes, whose flared bays reduce the weight, creating textures that would allow a wide management of both permeability and flexibility, giving the opportunity to transform the entire house into an extension of a golf course

The floor plan is divided into a social area, which includes the living and dining room, bar, office, kitchen, pool and terrace, and a more private area, which includes four bedrooms and bathrooms. Each space is distinguished by its privacy features and its exposure to the outside world
