Tierra Alta is an intimate refuge among the forests of Valle de Bravo, where nature sets the rhythm and architecture quietly accompanies. Nestled in a privileged area, this residence proposes a more conscious way of inhabiting: connected with the landscape, with time, and with the essential.
The house is organized around a central courtyard that shelters an ancient tree—a green pause from which corridors, columns, and open rooms extend, evoking a village square. Each space was designed to let light, air, and shade pass through; to root itself serenely in its environment.
The materials, sober and honest—concrete and exposed brick in dark tones—dialogue with the bark of the surrounding trees. The result is a restrained, modern architecture deeply rooted in its natural context.
Héctor Delmar Arquitectura is a firm based in Mexico City, focused on developing bioclimatic architecture deeply connected to its context. Their practice is distinguished by a technical and sensitive approach, where climate, landscape, and daily life become integral to the design process.
Each project begins with a careful reading of the site: solar orientation, wind, vegetation, and topography are not seen as constraints but as essential elements that shape the way of inhabiting. The studio has developed residential and tourism projects that integrate sustainability, structural clarity, and a restrained aesthetic. Through courtyards, open circulation, natural ventilation, and noble materials, their architecture proposes a more conscious way of living—closer to the essentials
At Héctor Delmar Arquitectura, building also means caring: for the place, the resources, and those who inhabit it. Their works aim not to stand out but to integrate; not to transform but to accompany. A serene, useful, and profoundly human architecture.
Coporito is discovered in the slow rhythm of the forest: the crunching of leaves, the whisper of the wind among the pines, the filtered light that changes with the hours. Its beauty does not call for attention; it is felt softly—among trails, fog, and shared silence.
What attracts us to this corner of Valle de Bravo is its natural balance: close to the water and the mountain, between the calm of the earth and the living presence of the surroundings. Here, time stretches out, and life is experienced differently. It revolves around fire, rain, and slow walks.
We are inspired by its way of inhabiting: with discretion and depth, with respect for what was already there. In Coporito, each tree seems to have memory, and each house is built to belong. It is a place that does not need to be defined: simply existing, serene and present.
