Casa Oásis was designed as a climatic and sensory refuge. Rammed earth walls made with local soil provide thermal mass and shield the house from direct sun. A reflecting pool cools and humidifies the air entering through breeze blocks. The layout promotes cross ventilation, natural light, and privacy through internal gardens and green roofs. The architecture blends material honesty and passive strategies to create a home that breathes with the climate and dissolves the boundary between inside and outside.
