![Project : Emulating the natural, cultural and historical importance of #Malinalco, #Mexico, home to one of the world’s three monolithic pyramids, the Mague House integrates the sanctity of the natural terrain into its architecture.
Mexican studio @mcxa.group [IG] designed the home’s volumes to carefully avoid any disturbance to the trees and flora of the sloping plot, resulting in an architectural space that meanders its way through outdoor spaces and abundant foliage.
Local materials such as wood, stone and the Mayan version of stucco, chukum, form a dwelling that is decidedly contemporary yet well within a pre-Hispanic cultural context. Slatted wood walls and large portions of glass take turns in forming a façade that simultaneously welcomes natural light into the space while offering its inhabitants their privacy.
The different rooms are distributed along both sides of a cemented footpath that cuts across Mague House’s rectangular floor plan. Certain rooms were designed to be multifunctional and flexible, easily shifting from an area of rest to work.
A number of exterior terraces and patios dot the property, culminating in the main outdoor area which hosts a swimming pool, a monolithic stone bonfire pit, and a wooden pyramid-inspired structure.

![House in minimalist Wabi-Sabi style by @selami.arq [IG]
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.
Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature.
"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."
"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."
Based on this philosophy, I wanted to design a house in the style of wabi sabi, which is widely used in architecture. What are your thoughts?](https://scontent-ams2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t39.30808-6/328233421_874614937142322_5203363276096319843_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=NotFxPAzyv8AX-TcUMj&_nc_ht=scontent-ams2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AfCZcScW2h1T58cnFvxfcYJf5-vFOWS0AGoGNme4INzDGw&oe=63E39563 "House in minimalist Wabi-Sabi style by @selami.arq [IG]
