"The Aculco House is a minimalist, 90-square-meter retreat located in a secluded, rural area of Aculco, Mexico, designed by PPAA Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados. Completed in 2017, the project was commissioned by two brothers who discovered the property during a rock-climbing trip and sought a remote escape to reconnect with nature. The cabin is set amidst a natural landscape featuring impressive cliffs. The design emphasizes simplicity, a deep connection to the environment, and a low-impact approach. Prior to construction, the brothers spent several years reforesting the plot. To minimize transportation and environmental disruption, the masonry for the exterior walls was sourced from a nearby quarry. Local and naturally finished materials, including clay floors, wood, and glass, were chosen to complement the surroundings and create an unpretentious aesthetic. The house's layout is centered on maximizing the landscape views through large windows and sliding doors. The interior, which functions as a ""container of views,"" includes a living and kitchen area, a bathroom, and two bedrooms, all within an open floor plan that promotes natural light and cross-ventilation. A large external terrace, nearly double the size of the house, extends the living space outdoors. The slanted roof, mimicking the surrounding hills, was a practical solution for the area's climate, designed to be maintenance-free.
