About Elias Rizo Arquitectos
Everything is summed up in one simple idea: create beautiful spaces that improve our client’s everyday life. It’s about fulfilling the client’s needs with commitment to honesty, service, and quality. Architecture not only gives us eternity and shelter, but it embraces us, it´s a contained space that holds the course of our life. It´s always there to teach us, but above all gives us fantasies. We believe we are a driving force for our culture and context, having an unavoidable impact in our project’s surroundings, which entails great responsibility. Therefore, it is essential to understand, learn and create despite the risks. Nothing can be gained without risk. We are committed with those who inhabit space, willing to experience both the good and bad that architecture represents. Our firm is confident that through architecture, one can transform fantasy into reality.

LA House was born out of an especially fruitful relationship with the client. Thorough communication was established from the beginning and we were granted complete trust to translate their needs into space.
BS House was built upon a relatively flat, treeless area. Unlike most of Tapalpa, which is covered with lush coniferous forests, the landscape surrounding the house appears alien; colored in ochres and sepias, and sprinkled with boulders and patches of high grasses.
The project grew out of a house GG very particular commission. Our client, a middle-aged bachelor, wanted to build a weekend retreat in a clearing in a forest, on a property on the mountain.
