FGO/Arquitectura have designed this single level house in Merida, Mexico, that makes the most of it’s indoor/outdoor design.

Upon arriving at the 2 bedroom house, you’re greeted by the garage which is lit up, enabling you to see the cars within.

Designed for an adult couple, the home has been kept to a single level for easy accessibility, and was designed to allow the mature trees on the lot to stay in place.

A stepped path made from wood and concrete, and surrounded by lush landscaping leads you from the garage to the main house.

Stepping into the house, you immediately see large sliding glass doors that open the interior to the garden outside, creating indoor/outdoor spaces that are found throughout the home, like in the dining room below.
