A Bold Lakeside Extension Reimagines Circulation, Materials, and the Relationship between a Home and its Natural Surroundings<\/h3>\r\n

A<\/span>\u00a0staircase bursts through the roof as if propelled by momentum, signaling a new chapter for a home overlooking a lush lakeside landscape. In Valle de Bravo, Mexico, Pedro&Juana<\/a> have transformed an existing residence by Jos\u00e9 Iturbe into a dynamic architectural composition that embraces both movement and nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Perched on a steep slope rising from the water to the mountainside, the original home relied heavily on stairways\u2014both practical and defining. Building on this characteristic, Pedro&Juana made circulation the centerpiece of their intervention. By opening the roof and extending the existing stairway upward into a newly created \u201cstair tunnel,\u201d they carved out a vertical passage that links the old house with a new wooden annex embedded in the hillside. This structural gesture not only expands the rear of the property but also introduces a secondary entrance that connects to the service areas below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The new staircase, constructed of broad brick steps, leads down through the tunnel into a covered patio that now serves as an extension of the redesigned kitchen. Above, the annex houses a bedroom, two bathrooms, and a flexible space that functions as a kitchen, studio, or additional sleeping area. An interior patio joins the rooms, offering an intimate outdoor retreat sheltered within the new volume.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Material choice played a critical role in the project\u2019s direction. Wood, selected for its sustainability and warmth, reflects the architects\u2019 broader advocacy through La Liga de la Madera, an initiative aimed at encouraging wood construction in a country dominated by steel, concrete, brick, and mortar. This commitment to mindful building extends throughout the project: Pedro&Juana designed nearly every element, from the smallest landscape gestures to tiles and custom furniture.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The result is a coherent, imaginative expansion that integrates stairs, patios, textures, plants, wood, and brick into a seamless addition. Far from overshadowing the original structure, the new annex elevates the home\u2019s relationship to its surroundings\u2014allowing life inside the house to flow upward, outward, and fully into the landscape it inhabits.<\/p>\r\n
