curved stone pavilion encloses circular reflecting pool for clubhouse in mexico

"The project is set within the Tentzo mountain range, a semi-desert landscape primarily featuring acacias, yuccas, and wild grasses. The design occupies a hill within the development, offering panoramic views of the golf courses, Atlixco valley, and the majestic Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes. This privileged setting shapes the project's circular layout, which opens the building to its surroundings while housing activities such as a restaurant, leisure rooms, restrooms, and general amenities."

"The exterior ring, made of curved, locally sourced stone walls, emerges from the slope, supporting the platform that holds most of the program and allowing part of the structure to be partially underground, leveraging the hillside's natural slope. The program is resolved on the ground and underground levels, while the roof slab serves as a 360-degree viewing deck with a multipurpose area for temporary events. A perimeter corridor between the outer and second ring functions as a balcony and service area."

"The second ring, with a glazed facade, connects interiors with the surrounding landscape and optimizes natural light. Finally, the third and innermost ring consists of rotating wooden doors, allowing spaces to be as open or closed to the exterior as necessary. A large oculus in the concrete slab at the building's center frames the landscape elements that rise, subtly marking the structure's presence. For Taller Ezequiel Aguilar Martínez stu"

La Pedrera is a circular clubhouse sited on a hill in the Tentzo mountain range near Atlixco, Puebla, offering panoramic views of golf courses, the Atlixco valley, and Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes. The plan arranges a series of concentric skins around a central reflecting . The outer stone ring emerges from the slope and anchors partly underground program. A glazed middle ring connects interiors to the landscape and brings natural light. An inner ring of rotating wooden doors modulates openness. A roof slab becomes a 360-degree viewing deck. A large oculus in the concrete slab frames rising landscape elements.
