Las Aguilas

 Architecture and Nature
Las Aguilas Residence is located in a privileged area, in one of the city's most important mountain ranges. Elevated over a thousand meters above sea level, this residence is situated in the middle of a lush oak forest. The design of the home has been carefully planned to integrate harmoniously with its natural surroundings, encircling the centuries-old oaks that adorn it.

Nuevo León, Mexico
Year: 2021
 The complex of residences, one of which is Eagles Residence, has been strategically arranged to respect all the trees and adapt to the steep slopes of the terrain. This ensures exceptional panoramic views and a harmonious relationship with the surrounding topography.


 The landscape architecture at Eagles Residence is inspired by the interpretation of the geometries of the rocks that form the surrounding mountains. Native vegetation has been used, and existing ravines have been utilized to incorporate the constant sound of water into the environment.

Additionally, bridges have been created to connect the access road seamlessly with the residence. The residence is set into the terrain in such a way that it is immersed in nature and practically invisible at first glance.
The roofs of the residence have been used as urban gardens for personal consumption, as well as terraces to enjoy the surroundings. The heart of the project is the floating deck, which allows existing trees to pass through it, creating a cozy space for the family without causing damage to the terrain or surrounding vegetation.

Aguilas Residence is composed of a series of platforms that blend with nature and the topography through the transparency of its architectural design. This home is an oasis of tranquility and beauty in the heights of the city, where architecture becomes an integral part of the natural environment.

Innovative elements in the landscape
It uses prefabricated systems of “rain gardens” vegetated and tree trenches, armed with “designed” soils and interconnected drainage system.

Massive use of the “grass pave” system for a total ###m2 of permeable parking spaces that minimizes the heat island effect

Planted 1,162 native trees from 3 to 10” that cause  64,155 m2 of shade over the total surface, and process 25,564 kg of Carbon Dioxide per year.

High-efficiency drip irrigation system that uses 100% treated sewage from the city's municipal network and use of native species with low water consumption and maintenance

Signage that informs and educates visitors about the types of native trees and plants, and special rainwater treatment systems.

A team of biologists, in charge of the initial environmental impact, will carry out the monitoring, evaluation and correct maintenance of the green infrastructure systems.
