In Abitare 654, House 720 Degrees by Fernanda Canales is presented as a self-sufficient residence conceived as a geometric and energy device in dialogue with the landscape of Valle de Bravo. Located in an area with extreme climatic conditions and no infrastructure, the house responds through bioclimatic strategies, local materials, and a spatial organization based on two circumferences that expand the relationship between interior and exterior. Its central courtyard, terraces, and openings transform light, shadow, and views of the mountain and volcano into essential elements of the everyday experience.
