Brutal

Oyamel emerges from the earth, facing the street yet turning boldly towards the Cofre de Perote and the Pico de Orizaba Mexico, which are framed by the unfolding interior space. It exists in dialogue with its environment, on a large plot of land.

The extensive use of concrete suggests a rock on the hill; the horizontal frame houses the spaces which move in rhythm with the surroundings; walls, slab and floor which boast a tonal palette that remains primitive .

Designed by RP Architects the honest lines of concrete are permeable to the landscape. The juxtaposition of the spaces evokes a photographic frame of the views of the forest.Three solid introverted spaces open to the landscape to maintain connection with the views.
