A large net separates the two floors and still offers comfort

A Mexican house, called Bosque Sereno , received a large net to separate the two floors of the house. The Fábrica de Espacios office , in charge of the project, invested in a simple but cozy architecture. The net is an essential part of this purpose, since gives residents the possibility to lie down without the danger of falling. “A textile network allows communication between two floors, while also functioning as a large hammock for the family to watch a film,” explains Hector Paredes, the project’s architect.

The space also featured natural wood to create an even more welcoming space. The architects used sustainable measures such as minimum water consumption, as they incorporated into the project a system that captures and filters the water used in the shower and sink and recycles to be used in the bathroom and for irrigation. There is also another tank that collects and preserves rainwater in the summer for later use. “The house has an introverted character, where each window is connected to the courtyard, the sky or the treetops outside,” says Paredes. The Bosque House is considered a "refuge" by the architects responsible. It was designed with a solar chimney and double-glazed windows , the aim of which is to conserve energy and keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer .
