One of my first construction projects, this residence was in an inhabitable state. Demolition of the entire structure was required in order to build the new home. Being in charge of the design and the project management was challenging since we were working with a tight budget and deadlines.
Area = 78 sqm per floor.
Private Client, Guatemala City.
If you are wondering why a car is inside the house, many homes in Latin America (mostly from modest backgrounds) tend to request for this feature. Councils and regulations do not interfere if a private residence develops this in the scheme.
Two of the main reasons is the lack of road space and high criminality rates in some sectors of the City.
