ROQUE HOUSE

The project was to design a new house for a familiy whose previous one was destroyed due to the September 19th earthquake. 

The house was designed with adobe, which is very used in this small town, and bamboo, as an alternative to wood and concrete brick. It was very important to create breeze ways since it is located in a very hot climate. 

A tricky thing in this project was to create a house that can be modified in the future, due to the culture of this place; the houses tend to grow because the families grow.

The most important part of this project is the patio, since it is where all the familiy activities ocurr.
