盆景屋位于哈利斯科州瓜达拉哈拉市的一个私人小区，坐落在一块12×22米（39.37×72.18英尺）的土地上，面向西南方，有2米（6.56英尺）的下坡。业主是一对带着孩子的年轻夫妇，他们正在寻找一个可以抚养孩子的房子。他们的要求之一是有一个室内游泳池，主要用于锻炼和理疗。因此，包括客厅、饭厅和厨房在内的公共区域将适应这些需求。
Located in a private subdivision in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, the Bonsai House rests on a 12x22m (39.37×72.18 ft) lot and faces Southwest on a downward slope of 2m (6.56 ft). The owners, a young couple with children, were looking for a house in which to raise their kids. Among their requests was an indoor pool to be used mainly for exercise and physical therapy. Due to this, the common areas including the living room, dining room, and kitchen would be adapted to these needs.
利用2米的海拔高度，业主决定使用半层–将社交区放在底层，卧室在上面一层。一楼被设计成一个开放的空间，餐厅与厨房相连；客厅和游泳池向两个花园开放。在室内，这两个不同的楼层实现了完美的和谐，因为游泳池与底层的其他部分不同，它的高度是底层其他部分的2.5倍，它的玻璃罩允许自然光进入，并创造了一个热和湿度的烟囱效应。同样地，书房的高度是上层其余部分的1.5倍，由于这些不同的层次，为孩子们创造了一个游戏空间。
Taking advantage of the 2m of elevation, the owners decided to use half levels—basing the social area on the ground floor and bedrooms a level above. The ground floor was designed as an open space, with a dining room attached to the kitchen; the living room and pool open out to two gardens. Inside the two different levels achieve a perfect harmony due to the pool which, unlike the rest of the ground floor, has a height 2.5 times that of the rest of the ground floor and which, with its glass cover, allows for the entry of natural light and creates a chimney effect of heat and humidity. Similarly, the study which measures 1.5 the height of the rest of the upper floor creates a play space for the kids due to these different levels.
在上层，洗衣区和卧室位于车库和主入口上方。鉴于侧面的限制，这些区域有一个对角线的视野。至于特殊装置，业主安装了太阳能电池板和太阳能加热器，以使住宅更具有可持续性和能源自给自足。这座房子在外墙上玩弄了三种材料的组合：石头、混凝土和铁制品的白色，以及延续到室内的质朴装饰–补充了白色的木制品，给人以清新和简洁的感觉。
On the upper floor, the laundry area and bedroom are situated above the garage and main entrance. These areas have a diagonal view given the lateral restriction. As for special installations, the owners installed solar panels and a solar heater in order to make the home more sustainable and energy self-sufficient. The house plays with the combination of three materials on the facade: stone, concrete and the white color of the ironwork, and rustic finishes that continue inside—complementing the white woodwork, giving it freshness and simplicity.
