Mulege, Baja California. México

A research project for the social housing institute. The proposal for the municipality of Mulegé in Baja California Sur is built on flexibility. The concept of affordable housing is based on a reticular structure that allows the addition or subtraction of modules according to the physical and economic needs of the owner family. Every module houses main functions of living that can juxtapose through open spaces that will allow future extensions of the basic house.

The outer space of coexistence of the South Californian family, is reinterpreted and preserved as an open space that precedes the entrance to the house and serves as climate protection.
