Copas House, designed by PPAA in Valle de Bravo, integrates seamlessly with its natural surroundings.

Located in Valle de Bravo, Copas House by PPAA stems from a deep respect for the natural environment. The main design goal was to create an open upper floor that connects directly with the surrounding treetops, which shape the atmosphere and views throughout the house.
