Casa Las Tinajas is organized around a central garden of existing vegetation. Around it, six independent volumes —all with locally crafted palapa roofs— adopt the proportions and characteristics of the programs they contain.

Five of these volumes are private and similar to one another. In an effort to blur the boundaries that naturally emerge with the presence of a built structure, and to restore the site’s original sense and experience, their façades are identical and present the same degree of openness toward both the interior garden and the exterior of the property. In this way, the house seeks to give equal importance to the southern sea and the northern sierra.

The sixth volume is entirely different from the others: it is composed of a circular palapa, 12 meters in diameter, which shelters all the public uses of the program within it. This volume intersects with a piece of geometry similar to that of the private volumes, thus completing the ensemble.
