Caucasian House by JJRR/ARCHITECTURE

The Caucasian House is a beautiful modern home located in a residential area of Mexico City. Its design features a concrete shell and an open interior layout that opens up to a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The project was developed by the architectural studio JJRR/ARCHITECTURE and resembles another of their projects, Casa Sierra Leon, which is also worth checking out.

Located in a residential area of Mexico City, the Caucasian House rises one meter thirty centimeters above the sidewalk to take advantage of the view. The site is in a privileged location offering views westward beyond the horizon and over tree tops, leading to a below-grade level one meter lower than the sidewalk where parking and service areas are located.

On the first floor, through a double-height hallway, public spaces face west while two bedrooms face east, both with bathrooms and walk-in closets creating a sense of living on one level.

On the second floor, via a bridge crossing the double-height space, the master bedroom and fourth room are located, both with terraces, bathrooms, and walk-in closets.

The house is built on a logical yet visible structure of concrete, stone, steel and glass. Vegetation also plays an important role in the design.

In the living and dining area, which is one space, a terrace runs along the entire room. When the glass doors are opened, the terrace integrates with the interior while communicating with the garden.
