A group of designers known as Colectivo C733 has completed a brick shopping centre in northern Mexico topped with roof volumes that bring in daylight and allow hot air to escape.
Matamoros Market takes its name from the city where it is located – Matamoros, in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas – where it is set in a residential area on the outskirts.

The shopping centre was conceived for a competition calling for prototypes for public facilities in the country s vulnerable areas.

Located in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, Casa Rancho Avándaro is a weekend retreat designed by Chain + Siman to fit in with the surrounding natural landscape. The house comprises three structures each with a gabled roof and stone walls that strike a balance between rustic and modern.

The center volume acts as a public space with the living room and dining room, with wings that house the kitchen and primary bedroom which includes a mezzanine level studio. An annex building includes guest bedrooms that give visitors a bit of privacy when staying.
The main volume is clad in glass on either side making the room appear even larger than it is. High wood paneled ceilings and exposed stone walls add another layer of coziness to the weekend home. The interior materials consist of poured concrete, black ironwork and various wood finishes, which are paired with neutral furnishings for a relaxed feel.
