Breezy home in Mexico uses strategic cross ventilation and natural light to reduce its energy use

RDLP Arquitectos have unveiled Casa Puebla, a beautiful family home that incorporates traditional Mexican design with modern passive features. The stunning project features a contemporary shell over two rectangular volumes clad in raw concrete, paying homage to the tilework found in traditional Mexican constructions. The design features several passive design elements, including cross ventilation, natural light and sun shades, all of which reduce the home’s energy needs. According to the architects, one of the principle inspirations behind Casa Puebla’s beautiful, nature-inspired design was the Popocatépetl volcano, one of the most beloved natural icons in central Mexico.
