TERRACE

Copas, a House

Shaped by Nature

Valle de Bravo, Mexico

ocated in Valle de Bravo, Copas is a

project born from an understanding
Land respect for the nature that
inhabits the place. Its main intention
was to create an open upper floor that
connects directly with the surrounding
treetops, elements that give the essence
to the project and create the atmospheres
and views throughout the house.
The residence adapts to the natural
topography of the site by absorbing the
slope and having minimal excavation.
The architects chose to elevate the public
spaces one level above the ground,
introducing a series of platforms that can
be experienced in a variety of ways along
with nature.
