Enso II House: A Stunning Creation by HW-STUDIO.

House Enso II, designed by HW-STUDIO, is a small house located in Guanajuato, Mexico, that reflects the region's strong constructive identity. The entire complex is organized on the basis of a cruciform plan, with each quadrant assigned a specific "vocation." The lower right quadrant houses an endemic garden, the second quadrant hosts cars, the third quadrant contains the one-bedroom house, and the fourth quadrant is the office. The use of stone, deeply rooted in the region's cultural expression, was a natural choice for the material. The design encourages a dialogue of respect between the artifice and its environment, framing the mountain landscape and forming a natural part of it.
