SHORT DESCRIPTION

The Hípico Piedra Grande clubhouse and centre is located on a privileged eight-hectare plot of land surrounded by forest in the State of Mexico. The equestrian complex has different spaces, designed for the development of equestrian sports and equine care, 110 two-level stables, sand tracks, gravel roads and green areas. The project seeks to alter the site as little as possible, using the materials it offers such as stone and wood, looking for a contemporary language that in turn was appropriate for the context, the distribution of the clubhouse is governed mainly by a central patio that creates an atmosphere that invites you to contemplate the landscape framed by stone walls that also divides and causes a transition of access between public and private space. From the beginning of the design process we wanted the project to be developed under a structural rhythm that could make the building reticular and simple, and due to the type of soil, we decided to opt for a system of structural modules based on columns and steel beams that define the skeleton and the shape of the building thinking that in the future the roof can be habitable for the different events that take place, since on the other hand the concrete and stone walls represent the sobriety and purity of the materials that are used to separate the different spaces including also the textured local marble that we use for the flooring.
