Casa Atelier – Hacienda La Presita Community
Casa Atelier combines clean architectural lines with a selection of rich, tactile materials that bring natural warmth and character to every space. Designed across multiple levels to harmonize with the local topography, the home features a logical flow between its social areas, private quarters, and the surrounding landscape.
Architecture, Materials & Atmosphere
- Natural Light & Warm Finishes: Solid wood elements, local stone, and artisanal wall finishes complement the home’s contemporary geometry. Balanced window placement ensures soft natural light throughout the day, creating an inviting, comfortable atmosphere year-round.
- Spatial Transition: Living areas connect with clarity and purpose. The main-floor layout integrates the living, dining, and kitchen areas for practical daily living, while a custom semi-circular staircase serves as an architectural centerpieces leading to the private upper quarters.
- Craftsmanship in the Kitchen: Custom cabinetry, durable countertop surfaces, and tailored detail work anchor the kitchen, which opens directly to the rear outdoor space.
Layout & Floor Plan
Street Level (Access & Parking)
- Private garage positioned at sidewalk level.
- Elevator preparation: Structural shaft and rough-in infrastructure in place for a future elevator connecting the garage directly to the main living floor for long-term accessibility.
Main Level (First Floor)
- Main Living Room: Gathered around a functional masonry fireplace, well-suited for the local climate.
- Dining & Kitchen: A functional sequence with wide pathways and direct access to the rear patio.
- Rear Exterior Space: An open-air patio backing directly onto the community’s green belt. The absence of high rear walls allows unobstructed natural views, constant cross-ventilation, and a clear sense of openness.
- Ground-Floor Bedroom: Ideal for guests or single-level living, complete with an adjacent full bathroom and closet.
- Service Areas: A dedicated guest powder room featuring custom fixtures, alongside an independent, naturally ventilated laundry room.
Upper Level (Second Floor)
- Semi-Circular Staircase: Curved design featuring solid wood treads and custom handrails, acting as the central vertical anchor of the house.
- Central TV / Media Room: A neutral lounge area positioned between the two upper bedroom suites.
- Two Upper Suites: Each bedroom includes its own en-suite full bathroom (finished with stone surfaces and high-durability fixtures) and direct access to a private terrace with open views.
