La Joya distributes independent dwellings across a steep hillside; Casa Cardona develops a compact brief through a more inward-facing domestic setting. These accounts offer distinct ways to read privacy and arrival.

The selection connects individually sourced projects, with city information retained where it is established. Materials, climate responses and cultural references should be read within each project’s evidence.

Double-height pink-toned living and dining space with an open kitchen and screened courtyard.
