House in Amatepec by Manuel Cervantes Estudio is a residence in Mexico City designed to respond to a challenging ravine site with a narrow frontage and elongated layout. The project emphasizes seamless integration between interior and exterior, with gardens functioning as extensions of living spaces. Organized into distinct volumes, the home features a multipurpose social area, a flexible kitchen, and a study on the ground floor, while the upper floor connects family spaces and bedrooms with views of gardens and the ravine. Clad in ceramic material, the stacked volumes balance privacy, natural light, and strong connections to the surrounding landscape.
