Ixtapa House

The house is located as near to the ocean as permitted by local regulations; this created an interior back-door garden cut away from the coastline for the children to play in.

The house is accessed by a narrow entrance between these two supporting volumes. There thus emerges a continuity between the living room and the swimming pool; a space completely open to the sea view. Here the classical structural tripartite floor-wall-ceiling is dissolved into one single gesture that embraces space. The unique landscape became an abstract image in the every-day life of the household.
