The existing house is located in the Colonia del Valle neighborhood of Monterrey, Mexico. Two elevated structures were added above a 144-square-meter yard and placed on opposite ends of the house. Despite their contrasting appearance – one section follows an angular concrete form, while the other has a lattice-like orthogonal look – the structures create an environment that feels consistent and compatible with the existing house.

One of the additions, the structure enclosed in glass and concrete, accommodates a new office space. The other, a steel structure clad in wooden panels, provides a terrace connected to the living room downstairs and a balcony for the main bedroom on the first floor. The two structures separate distinct functions. The part that houses the new office is partially supported on a white perimeter wall and two angled black poles. The glass is supported by white frames.
