Arquitectura: GARJA704 Ubicada en Zapopan, Jalisco. Casa Alvarado presenta una arquitectura contemporánea donde los volúmenes, la luz y los materiales dan carácter propio a la fachada. El concreto aparente, la madera clara, el recinto negro y el mármol travertino se combinan para crear una arquitectura moderna, cálida y visualmente sólida. El juego de volúmenes genera dinamismo y evita la monotonía, mientras que el cristal templado aporta ligereza y una conexión visual más abierta. La vegetación local integra la casa al entorno y refuerza esa sensación de equilibrio entre diseño, funcionalidad y vida cotidiana. Un hogar que transforma lo cotidiano en una experiencia de diseño: sólido, actual y pensado para quienes valoran la arquitectura que se vive, se siente y permanece

Modern three level home with large timber look window screes an random stone cladding.

The front of this home, designed by Studio212 Ltd, draws on New England and Cape Cod references with a crisp and timeless palette. Red brick at ground level provides solidity and warmth, while horizontal white weatherboarding above lightens the composition and reflects natural light. Generous dark-framed windows create rhythm across the façade, while a simple front door and integrated garage maintain a clean, understated look. The gravel driveway reinforces the sense of arrival and gives the house a natural, rural edge, softened by hydrangea planting and clipped shrubs along the base of the building. The overall design balances tradition with contemporary detailing, ensuring the home feels both established in its setting and fresh in character.
