The Rombos are four bodies assembled together, with the formal accident generated by the urban fabric. It is a private space with three houses and a study, in a central and wooded area of Mexico City called Bosques de las Lomas, with a continuous coexistence with the tree, it is perhaps our most present guest and in any case the most enveloping, like water it has a wide continuity.
Fountains and mirrors are a constant natural resource where re fl ection sharpens the environment in this (case) almost always green, as in almost all highly populated cities, the tree is a precious commodity just like the vegetation, the water, the earth and today even more intimacy ...Miguel Angel Aragones wanted to have an exterior that would protect privacy, be seen only by the sky, the air or the sun, that the house could be inhabited with the solitude that the bustle of the city demands.
Photography tells a small part of the history of what discover as architecture, it leaves aside the touch and expression of materials, hardness and softness, heat and cold, the voice of a space that accumulates the journey of the wind in the leaves of a tree, the sound of a fountain, the lullaby (murmur) of silence, a photo does not describe the fragrance of a garden or the smell of incense, all this speaks of atmosphere and shelter, Miguel Angel Aragones only find it in spaces that have the need to murmur with light, the form in its most natural accident is nothing but the consequence of a space in search of intimacy with oneself and of experiences that architect wish to be repeated in the form of architecture ...
