Casa Guamúchil

The architectural identity of Casa Guamúchil is rooted in material honesty and environmental responsibility. The residence was structuralized around a mature, native Guamúchil tree, bringing organic elements directly into the design. The home's facade features a celosía de barro, a handcrafted architectural element that acts as a passive solar filter. This ceramic lattice softens direct thermal impact and creates a dynamic play of light and shadow indoors while allowing for continuous cross-ventilation. Inside, exposed red brick walls pair with direct views and access to the shared green areas of Residencial Las Campanas. 

The main level is engineered with a strict adherence to universal accessibility, minimizing steps and restrictive thresholds. Upon entry, a central courtyard serves as both a natural light well and a passive cooling system that circulates fresh air through the wide hallways. The primary living area features a flexible layout that integrates the living room—anchored by a bioethanol fireplace—the dining space, and a chef's kitchen. The finishes rely entirely on raw, natural elements: stone, marble, and granite surfaces paired with high ceilings, solid wood custom cabinetry, and wood-paneled ceilings. The ground floor hosts the primary bedroom with a private walk-in closet, alongside a secondary bedroom. 

The upper level features a fully independent "Casita" (apartment) complete with a bedroom/studio, full bathroom, kitchenette, and private terrace. This independent structure delivers privacy for long-term guests, a quiet home office, or a separate rental unit. The exterior features a backyard garden landscaped with low-water native vegetation and a covered garage with parking for 3 vehicles. 

Environmental Engineering & Eco-Features: 

Sustainability is achieved through integrated mechanical systems rather than cosmetic trends: 

• Water Management: Dedicated rainwater harvesting and filtration system tied to a 15 m³ cistern, paired with a Biotar wastewater treatment plant.

An independent 7 m³ city-water cistern brings total on-site water storage to 22 m³ (~5,800 gallons). 

• Thermal Systems: One 10-tube and one 15-tube solar water heater, backed by two Rheem tankless gas water heaters to minimize fossil fuel consumption. 

• Future-Proof Infrastructure: Pre-installed conduits for rooftop solar panels and a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) charging port in the garage. 

Premium Mechanicals & Equipment Included: 

• Kitchen Appliances: Teka 5-burner gas cooktop, built-in oven, ventilation hood, and a 13-place setting dishwasher. 

• Pre-Installations: Ready for mini-split AC units in 4 distinct zones, pre-wired for an intercom system, and connections for an alternative gas or electric fireplace. 

• Water & Gas Systems: ½ HP submersible pump, water pressure booster, 750-liter rooftop backup tank, and a 300-liter Tatsa LP gas tank. 

• Lighting & Access: 100% energy-efficient LED light fixtures included throughout the property and a permanent steel service ladder for roof access.
