Angel López and Carlos Ortiz of 7XA Arquitectura studio did a good job in creating a modern home on a 5,000 sq.m. plot in El Uro, México. They aimed to bring the owners the best views to the Sierra Madre mountains and they succeeded. The vast plot gives an opportunity for lavish planning and 7XA took advantage by designing the house in a cross shape.
The house is articulated by a central space with a wooden cylinder in the middle, which serves as a guest bathroom. This space divides the house’s different areas: the more open ground floor that hosts social functions and the semi-closed and more intimate upper level with bedrooms facing the huge garden.
