hans mayr produces casa uno for homeless families in mexico

mexican architect hans mayr has designed casa uno, a sustainable and colorful structure for homeless families

in the rural areas of mexico. the proposal gained first prize in a competition organized by casita linda, in which the

brief was to produce a concept for those living in extreme poverty in san miguel de allende, four hours north of mexico

city. the project is based on two common rural constructions, the vernacular stone house and temporary buildings that

utilize low cost materials such as corrugated metal sheets and wood. combining traditional building methods with

industrial pieces helps to provide a high level of versatility in its design. the house can easily be adapted to suit the

needs of each family, ranging from one to two floors and offering flexible room layouts. the rectangular floor plan,

which is commonly found in such buildings in mexico, is also reflected on the interior, acting as a flexible space that

can be subdivided for resting or other activities. the entrance features a set of folding doors that can be used as a

screen, while also serving as an extension to the main volume during the daytime.

tak ing into account the lack of r esources available in this part o f mexico, the house is designed to collect rainwater and

is also equipped with an outdoo r pit toilet for low water consum ption and compost output. a wooden cooking stove is

po sitioned beneath the roofed e xterior kitchen, while solar pan els are included to produce essential electricity needs

su ch as lighting.
