Integral sustainability Located within a ranch, it was integrated into the natural topography of the property without affecting the existing vegetation. Materials such as stone, tile and wood from the region were used, as well as concrete and basic blacksmithing. In one of the accesses, the existing water descents were integrated to give way to the rainwater in its natural channel towards the Lake of Chapala. Despite being located on a private property; it was given access from the outside to allow entry to the people of the community.
