CASA CURTIDORES

SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, MEXICO

Casa Curtidores comprises a hillside lot with spectacular views of historic San Miguel de Allende nestled in the Altiplano Region of Guanajuato, Mexico. Major project goals included the incorporation of the greater city landscape from multiple viewpoints and designing for indoor and outdoor living accordingly.

The home's 4-story height is emphasized with its dramatic staircases that wind around the pathways. Procession of movement was deeply considered, with circulation and patio design being conceived together to offer expansive views of the city below, sunsets, and views of the neighboring mountains. To celebrate the colorful ephemera of Mexican culture, the use of locally-sourced materials was intentionally integrated.
