Architecture studio Goko designed the 'House of Eight Gardens,' a glass-walled residence located in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
The goal behind the eight glass-walled gardens that inform the project's concept and title, was to ensure that the interior was well-lit and had access to nature. Moreover, the architects wished to design a home that offered its residents "absolute rest," thereby improving their quality of life. As such, each bedroom and/or living space in the home looks out onto a manicured garden.
The home's center features a small pond, encompassed by glass, which allows views of the arboreal life surrounding the property (the tabachin tree, in particular, which borders the estate). The rest of the spaces are arranged around this central feature, each opening to a different courtyard and plant populus.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Glass-walled Residences
- Opportunity to create homes that offer abundant natural light and direct access to nature.
- Manicured Gardens
- Opportunity to design living spaces that overlook carefully curated gardens, enhancing the residents' quality of life.
- Central Water Features
- Opportunity to incorporate central water features, such as ponds, that create a focal point and provide views of surrounding plant life.
Sectors Adopting This
- Architecture
- Architects can explore innovative designs for glass-walled residences and incorporate them into their projects.
- Landscaping
- Landscapers can focus on creating manicured gardens that complement residential spaces and enhance the overall atmosphere.
- Interior Design
- Interior designers can work on integrating the surrounding natural elements, such as water features, into the living spaces for a more harmonious environment.
