Low Budget with Local Material – Todos Santos Houses by Gracia Studio
Todos Santos Houses by Gracia Studio
Gracia studio has designed a vacation house in Todos Santos, Mexico. The challenge for this project was mainly in how to approach not only the design part of the project but the technical difficulties and the cost efficiency of the project, the lack of good labor and the high cost involved in the construction materials. To overcome these, the architect concept this house with local resource.
The project consists of two equal houses, in which each of them had to be private and at the same time keep the ocean views. To accomplish that, the architect designed a one story house that allow to keep the 180degree ocean view for both of the houses and creating an indoor-outdoor area as the heart of the house. All interior managed to be opened to the pool and terrace.
The house itself consist in two basic materials one to be the exposed concrete walls that matches the existing color of the sand and the second one to be the “talavera” tile considered a typical material in México since the Spanish conquest.
