casa mariposa
This house design, placed in the mountains outside of Mexico city, is designed to house multiple generations and allow for the pursuit of a family's trade. This proposed design centers around a narrative set two-hundred years in the future and a family's engagement with an alien species.
This family manages a hatchery for the alien butterflies that have come to Earth. The house creates a nurturing environment for butterfly metamorphosis and encourages an interconnected lifestyle between the humans and the aliens. The design emphasizes a sustainable living style, incorporating different passive systems of the indigenous Mexica people.
