Casa Líquen, a project designed and built by Taller Fino Lozano and Pragma Estudio, stands as a symbol of integration between architecture and nature just a few meters from the beach in the paradisiacal region of Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico.

The house between party walls for Sandra, Mario, and their two children is one of the houses that colonized a branch of the road that connected the population with the sea, where suburban growth was more insistent. Following the typical structure of suburban rows, the plot presents a rectangular geometry with only 4m width and 15.60m length with a single facade facing the street.

The house is the boundary, the gesture that frames the view. Against the fragmented program, there is a desire for a unifying design. The rhythm of the volumes, almost blind, constructs the periphery. Each unit, room, patio, is a secret place of rest.

The Marfa Suite is a detached addition to an existing single bedroom adobe home in Marfa, Texas. The suite is conceived as a lounge, art studio, and refuge for the owners to stay when guests visit the remote town for extended stays.

Casa Roble is the result of a work inspired by the spatial and material distributions of the houses of yesteryear and the return of the patio as a container element for recreational and social activities.

Aru House (Awabakal word for “insect”) plugs in a series of carefully balanced sensory amplifiers and connectors to just such a cottage in order for a long-ignored sense of place to re-emerge.

​Each house is a story where it’s beautiful to enter, to observe, to listen, to assimilate. It is here where the architect, with his direction, can intervene to create a new scene! The lake house is a ’70s cottage that has always been used as a holiday home.
