Casa Punta Ixtapa, México

This project designed by Andrea Nova Interiorismo is located on the shores of the sea, but its story begins with the search for land, for freshness to the touch, for the sensation of being connected with the whole, of the search for natural light and the way in which it would permeate the space. It is through this search that we can guide the experience of visiting this beach house. Starting at stairs made of limestone which predominates in the area and which direct our eyes towards a weeping wall which with its curvature suggests a turn to the left.

Change the texture of the floor, the Veracruz marble covers it completely, the pore is open, with a texture similar to stepping on sand; naturally a view opens towards the space that houses the dining room and the room, both contained with a double height framed by a gabled roof, supported by a structure of wooden beams from Huanacaxtle.

In the background, a stackable gate allows us to contemplate the sea during sunrise. The light finds its way and is reflected on the walls finished with an artisan mixture of marble dust sealed with slime of nopal, passes through them and the space is filled with chiaroscuro. Continuing with the tour, we will find the jacuzzi which gives the impression of connecting with the sea and the terrace, the which guides us to the following spaces, there are 4 bedrooms, all facing east.

Its interior is homogeneous, in them, the height of the space is delimited by a barrel vault, which in the case of the main bedroom, is structured using Huanacaxtle beams; the same happens with the toilets in the bedrooms, they are designed under the same concept where the light enters grazing below the sides of the vaults, bathing the textures of the stones in the washbasins, the wooden bars and the porosity of the marble. At the end of this route we will only find a staircase, which continues down until it meets the sea.
