With their grid-like structure spanning across three storeys, these Oaxaca apartments are defined by their open social areas. The building, titled Casa Eva, is divided into three residential units, one per level, made of concrete, wood and steel, balancing a range of hard and soft materiality. Nestled on a sloping plot in the surf town of Puerto Escondido on Mexico's west coast, the apartment building, designed by Mexican architecture firm S-AR, establishes a definitive relationship with its context of mountains, tree canopies and the sea in the distance.
