Mejía House

A minimal intervention on an existing house added a terrace and a garage, reusing columns and walls found on site. The Mexican design team worked with basic architectural forms, columns and beams assembled in an elementary way.

The terrace has a structure of stacked timber, steel and glass, its form following the logic of piling wooden members, with a new gate in weathered steel.

The garage has a metal frame and a roof of folded steel plates that collect rainwater and pour it into a tray and a channel. New planting and permeable paving let water soak into the ground.
