"Las Rocas" is a 4-house complex in Valle de Bravo's northern La Peña, a cliffside area with large rock formations and unique vegetation, bordering a protected natural reserve. The study of the site was conducted meticulously to identify possible spaces where we could build while minimizing the impact on the rocks, vegetation, and existing water flows. The design considered a module, the placement on the site, and connecting corridors. This corridors, varies in size and shape in response to the positions of the volumes housing different functional areas.
