An "Isolated" Retreat for Two Brothers in Mexico | Aculco House

Aculco is a vacation home in Mexico, designed by the architecture studio PPAA for two brothers who wanted to retreat to "the middle of nowhere." The house is surrounded by nature and has impressive cliffs nearby. Built as a rectangular stone volume with a slanted roof, the residence uses local materials such as stone blocks, clay, and wood, kept in their raw state to create a harmonious dialogue with the natural surroundings. The simple layout of the house maximizes views of the surrounding landscape, offering a peaceful and intimate retreat.
