Awarded architectural studio ColectivoMX, well known for their regionalism in home design, had four principles in mind during the creation of this impressive nature conscious home:
1. Passive sustainability: by using regional materials and local labor force during the construction.
2. Sensibility of the materials: by using different textures and reinterpreting their usage.
3. Integration of the indoor and outdoor spaces: maximizing the usage of the space
4. Low maintenance costs.
The concept of the home is based on its residents and the enjoyment of all the spaces, where exterior becomes equally important as interior, complimenting the great weather of
Baja California Sur with 350 sunny days per year. All the spaces in Casa Gavión are looking to the exterior, with each room having its own garden or terrace.
Baja’s eternal summer was one of the inspirations for different textures implemented in this home: rock wall, pebble stones, gypsum, stucco, rustic plaster, fine plaster, fine grass, beach sand, water and wood - the materials that can be enjoyed walking barefoot in and around the house. The idea of walking around barefoot with hands stretched out, touching and feeling everything that surrounds you was an idea that excited the architects.
