Front elevation of Casa Estelí.

Project

Casa Estelí / COLAR Colectivo de Arquitectura

A thoughtful Mexican adaptive-reuse project that converts a deteriorated adobe livestock storehouse into the social center of a low-impact residence. Its independent timber roof, locally sourced masonry, and legible distinction between old and new offer a strong case study in modest, materially grounded preservation.
