DeLunna House, a single-family residence designed by REIMS 502 in a gated community, Querétaro, Mexico, ensures privacy through a concrete monolith structure around a central courtyard. Completed in 2018, the house optimizes southern views, orientation, and creates an interior microclimate suited to local conditions.
DeLunna House is an introverted, solid, and antagonistic single-family residence within a gated community. Its design ensures privacy through a large concrete monolith organized around a central courtyard. This layout facilitates southern views, optimal orientation, and generates an interior microclimate responsive to the area’s physical-geographical conditions.
The project is based on a 6x6m ordering grid, creating a structure where all parts of the program are nested within its modules. These modules develop concentrically around the central courtyard in a sequence transitioning from public to private areas across three levels.
The basement contains a garage and a flexible lounge, defined by natural stone floors and walls extracted from the site. This basement serves as the plinth for the public spaces on the street level, including the entry, living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, studio, and terrace. The cast concrete walls and travertine marble floors characterize this area. The upper floor houses private spaces like family bedrooms and service areas, predominantly lined with natural wood floors and walls, creating a soft and welcoming atmosphere for its inhabitants.
