House in a Park is a minimal residence designed by Think Architecture and located in Zurich, Switzerland.

The park-like plot comprises a collection of single-story, freely arranged spaces. The volumes take their inspiration and height from the natural contours of the area and integrate themselves harmoniously into the environment. The basic meandering shape disguises the actual size of the house, and its projections and recesses allow it to merge with the landscape of the surrounding parkland. The rooms are clad with natural stone and a continuous, exposed concrete facing around the edge of the roof ties it all together.

The buildings in Condesa, Mexico City, have special regulations surrounding the preservation of architectural heritage because of the history of the neighborhood.

The commision ask to design four living units on a site where a registred house with a historic facade was to be preserved. This condition inspired us to rethink life inside the old house and translate the schema into the new building.

The project’s intention was to create interior spaces mimicking the original patios while mantaining privacy of these spaces from the other apartments. These patios allowed each apartment to be naturally lit and ventilated. Garden beds where also incorporated at the limits between the interior and the patios in order to incorporate the landscape within the architecture.
