4 Casas by Gaeta Springall Architects
Gaeta Springall Architects designed the 4 Casas (4 houses) project in Mexico City, Mexico.

of a steep ravine.

why do it looks like it is going to topple in a storm?

Interesting project. Simple and clear. Just hope that there are no earthquakes, despite the iron construction!

O M G!
I definately hope there are some rigorous seismic design codes being enforced here.

Fascinating. But looks like it cost 40 frazillion dollars to build at that site.
Btw, why on earth wouldn’t they glaze those side walls??!! That “green view” looks like it’d be amazing.
Hugely fascinating project.

Irresponsible architecture.
Given Mexico’s history with landslides I can’t imagine anyone feeling comfortable living in this.
Imagine how hard it will be to sell these coming off the back of the most recent landslides that occurred in September…

Big Bold Statement….
Irresponsible architecture.
You seriously think all the parties involved do not understand what they have undertaken…that these houses will be sliding off the hillside during the next shower? Give them just a little more credit, please.
