Research notes

The section separates enclosed domestic rooms from an upper landscape of terraces and viewpoints.

Casa Amapa follows a wooded slope near Guadalajara, Mexico. Pérez Gómez Arquitectura describes the project as an attempt to work with the existing forest and its topography.

The lower level contains the main domestic spaces, while upper terraces, platforms and a small garden extend occupation outdoors. Look for the relationship between these two levels rather than reading the roof as an unoccupied cap to the rooms below.
