This gorgeous concrete getaway surrounded by trees and greenery in Mexico City is a lovely project by Cadaval & Solà-Morales. Built in 2012, the Tepoztlán Lounge is the first completed building as part of a larger project that includes a series of bungalows that can be rented in years, months or days. The lounge has been designed as a communal space for leisure and is located next to an immaculate lawn, a swimming pool and an abundance of nature which sets the boundaries for this space.
"The design establishes three separate living quarters designed in accordance to the 3 activities planned; each of them is a set space defined by its use, but also by a very clear and simple architectural container: the first holds an open bar with a kitchenette, together with a couple of restrooms and dressing rooms; the second is a play area for children that can also be used as a reading room when temperatures drop at night; and finally the largest container is the living area, an enclosed, tempered and comfortable space for conversation, TV, etcetera. But it is the desire to give continuity between these three separate areas where the project is empowered and becomes meaningful; a continuous space, in full contact with the nature but protected from its inclemency is set up not only to expand the enclosed uses, but also to allow new activities to arise."
