"Casa Piscina del Cielo, designed by Zozaya Arquitectos, rises from the coastal slopes of Mexico's Pacific coast as both residence and landscape intervention. The project is set on a site of unusual topography, where natural contours and ancient boulders guided the architectural response. The architects tell designboom: ' From the outset, the client asked for something extraordinary, a home that would defy convention, a structure that felt singular and paradigm-breaking.'"
"From this central stone courtyard, Zozaya Arquitectos' Casa Piscina del Cielo unfolds. The architects shelter the main living space beneath a soaring palapa, open on all sides to sea breezes and natural light. Under this thatched canopy, breezy living, dining, and kitchen areas extend into one another, accumulating to create a vast communal space that feels at once wide-open and sheltered."
Casa Piscina del Cielo sits on Mexico's Pacific slopes and responds to unusual topography. The client requested an extraordinary home. The entrance uses strong geometries and stone surfaces and leads through two monumental doors into a central courtyard anchored by a swimming pool. Excavation uncovered massive rocks preserved as sculptural monoliths around which the program centers. Main living spaces sit beneath a soaring palapa open to sea breezes, with living, dining, and kitchen areas flowing into a vast communal room. Service areas sit to one side and a covered terrace faces the horizon. A 27-meter pool projects over the cliff with a square glass window framing views to the surf.
