In the heart of the forest, perched atop a 40-meter ravine in one of Mexico City's most exclusive neighborhoods, stands a structure that seems to defy architectural logic. It's not exactly a house or a conventional studio, but rather a blend of habitable sculpture, futuristic capsule, and brutalist temple. This is Casa Praxis, the workshop and home of legendary Mexican architect Agustín Hernández, built in 1975 as a synthesis of form, function, and sculptural power.

Amidst the urban dynamism of León, Guanajuato, a house emerges that chooses tranquility over noise, shade over excess, and contemplation over immediacy. Gálvez House, designed by Estudio Villagálvez under the direction of Christian Mauricio Villanueva Gálvez, stands as an architectural response to a saturated context, where the green landscape—scarce yet essential—becomes the starting point for a profoundly human spatial narrative.

Casa Lorena was part of an early 20th-century mansion. Over time, and due to urban development, the land was subdivided until it was reduced to a quarter of its original size. What was once colonial spaciousness was now a narrow, deep plot, squeezed between party walls. The architects at Workshop, Diseño y Construcción decided not to erase, but to reveal. Not to deny history, but to reinterpret it.

Amid this fragile situation, an intervention emerged that, beyond addressing the housing emergency, explored the role of architecture as an engine for social reconstruction and rebuilding. Built in just ten days in the province of El Oro, the Chacras project—this 30m² house—became a refuge and starting point for Don Velfor and his family, who found in this new space not only a roof over their heads, but also the opportunity to rebuild bonds, a sense of belonging, and hope.

The housing unit closest to the street retains greater independence; it is a duplex ideal for a small family. On the other hand, the internal units are ideal for a couple, regaining privacy through the set of openings that open onto the internal courtyard. This segmentation of housing is achieved by combining lightweight materials on traditional structures, reducing environmental impact and demolition costs; similarly, making ingenious use of the usable area.

The E_RC project, designed by the MAPAA firm, consists of the renovation of a 600 m² building located in the Providencia district of Santiago, Chile. The property had been abandoned for more than thirty years, turning it into a disused structure in the heart of the city. The project posed an architectural and urban challenge: how to recover an obsolete volume and transform it into a contemporary residential building.

Located in Iquique, Chile, and developed in 2004, the Quinta Monroy project sought to relocate 100 families who had lived for decades in precarious conditions to the same site. Under the Chilean government's Dynamic Debt-Free Social Housing program, each family received a subsidy of USD 7,500 to build their home. Faced with this budgetary constraint, the Elemental team, led by Alejandro Aravena, proposed an innovative approach.

The Butantã House, designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 1964, embodies a synthesis between concrete as a material and a social conception of domestic space. Framed within the Brazilian brutalist movement—particularly in its São Paulo iteration—this work becomes an architectural manifesto where the apparent structure, functionality, and openness to the environment dialogue with ideas of collectivity.

Designed by Baja Estudio, located in the heart of Guadalajara, Mexico. This project stands as a masterful example of how contemporary architecture can intertwine with the historical and cultural context of its surroundings. Not only does this project respond to the functional needs of its inhabitants, but it also honors the architectural heritage of the city, creating a space that flows between the past and the present.
