The Guest House in Culiacán, Mexico, designed by Hermann Tamayo Arquitectos and Pedro Gaxiola Estudio, is a 210-square-meter residence organized into two independent volumes in an “L” layout that embraces a central garden. One block contains the garage and service areas, while the other hosts daily living spaces including two bedrooms, a living room, dining area, and kitchen—all oriented eastward to connect with nature. At the heart of the home lies a terrace with a pool, blending indoor and outdoor living. With materials such as exposed concrete and regional gray San Andrés stone balanced by greenery, natural light, and warm furnishings, the house achieves a modern yet welcoming atmosphere.
