Picturesque landscapes are the perfect spot to enjoy golfing with friends while drinking a margarita and enjoying the pleasure of tranquility. This course in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, offers more though, as it also gives its players the chance to enjoy the HMZ House, designed by Lucio Muniain et al.
HMZ House was designed with the thought of transcending conventional boundaries, so the designers looked at our senses to create experiences and foster strong emotions from anyone who gets in contact with the structure. Drawing inspiration from a dedication to sensory architecture, inner life, and the seamless integration of natural elements, this residence was born from the harmonious fusion of dramatic aesthetics, serene ambiance, and the influence of light.
The most captivating facets of HMZ House come from the vision of the designers, as they were not initially outlined in the owners’ program. Wishing to portray mystery and a will to explore, the architect devised pathways that elevate the journey between typical domestic spaces into an immersive experience. Height, narrowness, distance, shadows, and light assume pivotal roles in the design, sculpting a sort of storyline around the house.
At the core of HMZ House lies the epitome of luxury: a thoughtful interplay of light framed by raw concrete that not just embraces it but also allows for shadows to get their own spotlight. The materials used throughout the house also enhance light, as the designers chose travertine marble, tzalam wood, steel, and glass not just for their beauty but also because these elements coalesce seamlessly to redefine the essence of contemporary living.
