With a sobriety of flat elements you can create impressive, fresh, modern architecture with different views depending on which side you look at.
MXTAD's Casco Parque México project in Tlaxcalancingo, Puebla, is an incredible example of how modernity and history can come together in a unique architectural design. In this project, every detail, from historical inspiration to the choice of materials and the integration of nature, comes together in a composition that celebrates the beauty of architecture and life itself.
It is a clubhouse for a housing complex located in one of the most important and fastest growing residential areas in Puebla. It was designed with two main objectives: to function as a coexistence and leisure center for inhabitants and visitors of all ages, and to serve as an archetype for future residences within the cluster.
Designed to be the iconic building within “Parque México”, the project is inspired by 19th century Mexican modernist architecture, where planes are combined to form simple volumes that intersect and organize each other to create a solid-void interaction that seeks visual continuity between exterior and interior spaces. The fusion of all these elements, along with the use of color and natural materials, provides identity not only to this building, but to the entire complex.
Throughout the project, rustic plasters in warm colors predominate, combined with the use of natural stones and light woods with the aim of generating a feeling of serenity and disconnection within the building. The plants offer a variety of colors, foliage and flower types, designed to grow around the building over time. The pool terrace, a space where all these elements coexist with water and endemic cacti, instantly became the favorite space of the project.
