La Casa Ombra是一个天井式房屋：一个刻在几乎完美的立方体中的房屋。它是一个被挖掘出来的白色立方体，其质量已经被减去，以使其能够被居住。梯田、视觉框架、窗户和一个双高的中央庭院构成了穿孔策略的调色板，超越了其几何形状的纯洁。这座房子位于蒙特雷大都会区的圣佩德罗-加尔萨-加西亚市，围绕一个中央庭院，作为内部空间的延伸。
La Casa Ombra is a patio house: a house inscribed within an almost perfect cube. It is a white excavated cube whose mass has been subtracted to allow it to be inhabited. Terraces, visual frames, windows, and a central courtyard of double-height form the palette of perforation strategies that transgress the purity of its geometry. Located in the municipality of San Pedro Garza García, in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, the house is set around a central courtyard that acts as an extension of the interior spaces.
这是一个有盖的院子，有一个凉棚，可以缓解墨西哥北部这个地区普遍存在的高太阳辐射，但也包含了空间，并为它提供了一个多孔的限制，让人感觉在外面的同时也被保护在一个内部空间。继承欧洲中世纪的传统，房子的主楼层比街道水平高一层。这给了它更大的热舒适度，但最重要的是，它给予了更大的隐私，允许有更大的窗户，而不会从街道上看到内部。
It is a covered courtyard, with a pergola that allows mitigating the high solar incidence prevalent in this area of northern Mexico, but also to contain the space and provide it with a porous limit that allows the feeling of being protected in an interior space while being outside. Picking up the medieval European tradition, the main floor of the house is one level above street level. This gives it greater thermal comfort, but above all, it grants greater privacy and allows having bigger windows without the interior being observed from street level.
房子的所有公共用途都位于主楼层：客厅、餐厅、厨房、早餐室和电视室。它们围绕着中央庭院组织，并向它开放，在房间和庭院墙壁之间的游泳池之间建立一个连续的空间，并向邻近的花园开放。上层为房屋的私人区域所保留。三个房间和一个书房通过大露台和窗户向蒙特雷马德雷山脉的迷人景色开放。
All the public uses of the house are located on the main floor: the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the breakfast room and the TV room. They are organized around the central courtyard and open towards it, building a continuum between the rooms and the pool contained between the walls of the courtyard, and opening to the adjacent garden. The upper floor is reserved for the private areas of the house. Three rooms and a study open through large terraces and windows to the stunning views of the Sierra Madre de Monterrey.
底层包括一个电影院、一个操场和服务区。尽管房子的不同楼层有这样一个基本的程序性组织，但空间阅读是通过一个单一的垂直空隙组织的，建立一个复杂的交叉视图，使空隙成为项目的真正主角。这座房子是为SorteoTEC实现的，获得的所有收益将用于低收入学生的奖学金。
The ground floor contains a cinema, a playground and the service areas. Despite such an elementary programmatic organization of the different floors of the house, spatial reading is organized through a single vertical void, building an intricate cross-view that makes the void the real protagonist of the project. The House was realized for the SorteoTEC and all the benefits obtained will go to scholarships for low-income students.
