The Hipico Piedra Grande Clubhouse is located on eight hectares of land surrounded by forest in the state of Mexico.
The project seeks to alter the site as little as possible, using the materials that it offers such as stone and wood, looking for a contemporary language that in turn was appropriate for the context.
The distribution of the clubhouse is governed mainly by a central patio that creates an atmosphere that invites you to contemplate the landscape framed by stone walls that also divides and causes a transition of access between the public and private space.
A structural module system based on columns and steel beams is proposed so it can define the skeleton and the shape of the building thinking that in the future the roof can be habitable for different events that take place.
The opening to the valley and the mountains was one of the design priorities that was sought when doing this project taking advantage of the inclined topography to be able to integrate the large flown terrace that allows views of the surroundings.
