Designed from a “high-tech, local handmade” philosophy, this house was conceived with the selection of locally sourced materials as a starting point. Red brick is widely produced in San Pedro Cholula, making it the stand-out material of the house. An artisanal arrangement of each brick, following a non-perpendicular modular repetition, allowed expressivity for both material and geometry-wise while maintaining a low cost. The house is an introverted one and incorporates design elements that aim to simultaneously bring sufficient privacy, light and natural ventilation: a courtyard and interior-facing terrace, brick-lattices and windows that open up to selected views. In terms of the program, the said courtyard serves to articulate and bring light and ventilation to two main volumes: The first one comprised of a double-height space containing a living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor, and bedroom on the second floor. And a second one containing a smaller bedroom and service areas on the first floor, and a large terrace on the second. Various elements such as wall lamps and an electric meter box (among others) were custom-designed and crafted for the house.

La vivienda está ubicada en el término municipal de Bareyo, en una zona eminentemente rural. El proyecto busca la máxima integración paisajística y medioambiental, debido a su localización y a las características de la arquitectura tradicional de la zona. A ello contribuye la decisión de desarrollar todo el programa en un único volumen rectangular, con su lado estrecho perpendicular a la pendiente del terreno, y de una única planta sobre rasante, la cual queda visualmente semienterrada, y abriendo los espacios a las orientaciones más favorables y protegiéndolos de las más duras. Además, la materialidad elegida, una base de piedra sólida, los entrepaños cubiertos con paneles de gran formato de piedra negra, y la cubierta a dos aguas, con tejas de pizarra oscura, aportan tonalidades coherentes con el lugar, reflejándose de una manera actualizada.

A new, substantial family home on the north coast of Devon, designed using natural materials and traditional forms to reflect the local agricultural vernacular. The house is oriented to take advantage of the magnificent surrounding views and at ground floor glazed doors and an adjoining pergola connect indoor and outdoor rooms. In the main reception room a vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams responds to the agricultural form, complemented by a natural stone chimney breast and white walls. The master bedroom is flooded with light from floor to ceiling windows which frame the stunning views and give access to a balcony with glazed balustrade.

The cosmopolitan air of Bristol, with a wealth of traces of the city’s post-industrial heritage, is reflected in the brand-new surface crafted by Ceramica Rondine, inspired by the typical brick facades found there. The allure, feel and urban spirit of bricks springs back to life in this porcelain stoneware, evident in which is the strongly contemporary nature of the vibrant neighbourhoods that make up this English city. The vintage reflections take possession of the walls, filling the home with a sophisticated new mood enhanced with retro details, reproducing the effect of hollow ceiling tiles and small brick surfaces. Leading-edge ceramic technology goes into crafting 20 surfaces that offer an accurate reproduction of the shades of brick, thus breathing life into a new material generation: the Brick Generation. The innovative focus of this collection is not limited to the perfect reproduction of the appearance of industrial brickwork, but is also evident in the variety of ways in which it can be used: it is ideal for both floors and walls.
