A recently completed residence made almost entirely of exposed black concrete defies all expectations. Designed by collaborating architects Fernanda Canales and Claudia Rodríguez, the house, located in the mountains about 100 miles southwest of Mexico City, is an engaging cluster of rustic board-formed boxes that are nestled at angles into their site around an irregularly shaped courtyard. Dubbed Casa Bruma for the mist that often shrouds the surrounding landscape, the 6,500-square-foot assemblage is a weekend retreat for an attorney, his marketing-executive wife, and their two young children. It is one of the first buildings to be constructed within a secluded community that will eventually contain only 70 houses on 500 mostly untamed acres.

The couple who own High Horse Ranch envisioned a mountaintop house with a seemingly casual, yet orchestrated, approach. Architects @kierantimberlake responded with a 2,580-square-foot main residence and two secluded 290-square-foot cabins, all sharing common traits. Rectangular, flat-roofed forms, partially constructed off-site in 12-foot modules, they all play Cor-Ten-clad elevations against a view-framing back wall of floor-to-ceiling, operable glass. Giving the interior’s almost-Miesian geometry a slightly rustic twist, exposed Douglas fir structural members mark the rhythm of the house’s 13 modules, which were roughed out off-site, craned onto concrete foundations, and bolted together.

@rcrarquitectes’ Maison Malecaze is a dwelling of endless subtleties. A canyon-like staircase leads to the rooftop pool and its views over the valley of the Garonne River. While stopping short of the Villa dall’Ava’s Koolhaasian contrariness (Rem famously didn’t want it to be all about the rooftop-swimming-pool view of the Eiffel Tower), the route up top here is the final sequence of compression and dilation, as you move from a narrow dark canyon of a staircase to a platform in the sky, the spinal corridor now a parapet pushing you forward toward a thin ribbon of blue, a last deliquescent strip of sensuality between you, the Pyrenees, and infinity.

@rcrarquitectes’ Maison Malecaze is a dwelling of endless subtleties. Once inside the hood’s somber gloom, you’re suddenly faced with an enormously tall steel door, the first in a series of compressions and dilations that modulate your experience as you move around the house. Concrete is variously utilized within the house to form washbasins in the master bath, to embed the cantilevering counters in the kitchen, and to alternate the treads of the steps that separate the master suite from the spinal corridor.

@rcrarquitectes’ Maison Malecaze is a dwelling of endless subtleties. Arriving at the house, you are confronted by a blind fortress of a facade, in pale striated concrete, with an equally pale path leading up to the low hood of the entrance canopy. Once inside the hood’s somber gloom, you’re suddenly faced with an enormously tall steel door, the first in a series of compressions and dilations that modulate your experience as you move around the house. Here, a fireplace defines a small nook off the large living area.
