Embedded into a verdant cliff overlooking the Pacific, the three volumes that comprise Quinto Sol House unfold in a subtle rhythm of private and public spaces.  Owing to a meticulous study of the site’s climatic conditions, interior and exterior are perceived as gradations that the user navigates seamlessly, almost unaware of the passage between them. A central patio functions as an enclosed oasis and transitional space, connectingthe main bedrooms — located on the highest point of the terrain for optimal views of the water — with a breezy dining and living room area. There, a low, wooden ceiling envelopes the array of natural textures found in the furniture, which prominently features contemporaryMexican designers and artisans, a fixture of Estudio Cristina Grappin’s work in interiors.
