Collaboration with Daniel Pereira, PEMO




In the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Altar Casa Arca emerges as a space shaped by both its climate and surroundings. Designed to blend into the city’s historic fabric, it frames strategic views of the Parroquia and other 18th- and 19th-century domes, establishing a direct connection with the urban landscape.
More than a structure, Altar Casa Arca is an evolving dialogue between architecture and place. Shadows shift, materials breathe, and spaces remain open to their surroundings, creating a refuge that is both rooted and adaptable, where landscape and built form exist in continuous conversation. By integrating natural light, climate-responsive design, and locally sourced materials, the project offers an experience that is immersive, tactile, and deeply connected to its environment.
