Mexican architect Roman Gonzalez Jaramillo of Taller de Construccion has designed the Gershenson House, a single story contemporary home located in Cholul, Yucatan, Mexico. It is called Gershenson House and it is located on a 2,000-sq.m. (over 21,500-sq.ft.) parcel, which includes a pond beautifully landscaped gardens.
The project consists of three main volumes, each one with its separate functionality (private, social, service), but all flawlessly interconnected. The owners wanted all materials to be reutilized for their home. All rocks that were extracted during excavations were used in walls and different design details. The integration of the exterior and interior is sought through curtain walls, a pond and gardens that divide the house in order to eliminate the monotony of the inhabitants’ day to day. For an even more accentuated connection with the surroundings, nature was allowed to creep into the architecture, thus disrupting its flow in a very refreshing manner. The indoor-outdoor interplay is continuous throughout the project, and this perfectly responds to the owners’ desire. Photos by: Pepe Molina
