LA CASONA

Tapalpa, Jalisco (Proclaimed by the State as Pueblo Mágico or Magic Town) is located 118 km away from Guadalajara, and it’s set 2070 meters above sea level, where its cultural, architectural and natural riches make it the ideal place for recreation and rest. At the side of the Dam of The Nogal is the Rancho Viejo living complex, where La Casona is established, a country-style resting cabin, developed under the philosophic grounds of the organic architecture movement, where the main axis of design is the incorporation of the typical materials of the region such as wood, Stone, slab, adobe and tile. All of them are integrated to both the interiors and open spaces, through methods endemic to the area. When entering the place, you get a panoramic view of the dimensions and the organic lake. The living room is the main area of the complex, adjoining with a fully-functional contemporary kitchen. Interior room, dining room, terrace and bar are connected, facilitating a fluid interior-exterior interaction, both in a visual and functional way. The outdoor terrace communicates us to the bathrooms and to an open jacuzzi. The sloping roofs create a vertex of almost poetic illumination, which leads to the terrace and then to
