Keita House is a contemporary residence in Colima, Mexico, designed by Di Frenna Arquitectos with a strong focus on climate-responsive and inward-oriented living. Organized around a series of courtyards and patios, the house uses passive design strategies to control heat, enhance natural ventilation, and create a calm, private atmosphere. Through restrained material choices such as exposed concrete, stone, and wood, the project emphasizes durability, spatial clarity, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a thoughtful model for modern residential design in warm climates.
