Mexico-based Soler Orozco Arquitectos created the [Casa Molina](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-girasol) as a modern and luxurious vacation retreat. The home was [prefabricated off-site](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1807-holiday), then delivered by truck as a request from a client. With unique design features, the home needed to be built in a workshop, fitting all road transportation requirements.

Assembled with [steel and timber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-guaec-project), the home stays true to its structure, keeping all support features unveiled as a design feature. The interior includes two bedrooms, each with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a connected bathroom. The exterior has an open-air terrace that is perfect for entertaining and gathering.

The Casa Molina was handmade to meet each client request, with Soler Orozco Arquitectos going above and beyond to create a unique and open-living space.
