Nido de Quetzalcoatl - Exterior/Landscape

This ambitious project's intent was to build ten apartments on an irregular piece of land, lined with oak trees and full of caves. As if that weren't enough of a program killer, Senosiain wasn't allowed to touch any of the plant life on the premises (which covered 98% of the terrain), and that the small flat surface had to be used as parking space. Under these conditions, he found an ingenious way of actually making great use of the ravine and came up with a snake-like design for the house. This building is a great study of using the tenets of organic architecture throughout the design process.
