Zen House / Garrido Lizarraga Arquitectos

Casa Zen was conceived for the family of a yoga teacher who wanted to integrate her residence with a study space. The architectural program required the basic elements of a single-family home, with the only condition imposed by the owners being to preserve as many existing trees as possible and to avoid cutting them down at all costs. This challenge of preserving the trees was, in fact, the driving force behind the project, as the architectural approach and concept emerged from this premise.
