DDH House

Architecture studio Taller Héctor Barroso has fully revamped the decades-old DDH House in Mexico City for a family of five, including new facades clad in dark brown stucco that looks black. The DDH House sits on an irregularly shaped lot in the Lomas de Chapultepec neighbourhood in Mexico City.

Local firm Taller Héctor Barroso was tasked with updating and expanding a 1980s home by an unknown architect that had been refurbished several times over the years.The design needed to adapt to the lifestyle of the new occupants, a family of five.completely revamp the facades and interior layout. For the exterior walls, the team used concrete blocks, which were then covered with dark brown stucco that, when dry, appears black.

On the street-facing facade, windows were kept small enough to retain privacy while still allowing light to enter and for the inhabitants to view the surroundings." The house gradually surrenders to its surroundings through a series of openings that allow the natural light in," the architect said. Adjacent to the house is a painted steel fence with vegetation growing on top that covers an attached garage. Within the home, the corridors and the rooms of the interior gradually open up to the exterior landscape by means of the rear of the house which is open to the garden.

Large, pivoting doors lead to a sheltered patio. Beyond is the backyard, which features lush vegetation, a bench and a concrete sculpture by Tezontle Studio. On the middle floor, the team placed two bedrooms and a family room, while the top level holds the main bedroom suite and a terrace adorned with vegetation. Interior finishes – including stucco, oak and ipe wood – are meant to "accentuate the contrasts of light and shadow as the day wears on".
