In the rich Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood of Mexico City, Miguel Angel Aragones Architects has created Rombo IV, a modular villa that combines minimalism and pop.
Rombo IV has been built by assembling four modules, which has allowed to create openings and spaces in which the interior meets the exterior. The geometric, square and linear shapes are underlined by a strong use of mirrors and artificial ponds and fountains in which the structure is reflected, creating an optical illusion that opens up the spaces.
The peculiarity of Rombo IV, however, is its dual nature. During the day, the villa represents at best the minimalist current that many architects are undertaking, focusing on the exclusive use of white, large openings and furniture reduced to the bare minimum. With the setting of the sun and the arrival of darkness, the entire building is illuminated by dozens of colored neon lights, from pink to blue, transforming Rombo IV into a modern house, with a pop and futuristic style.
Fundamental, both during the day and at night, is the contrast that is created between architecture and nature, which continues to be a fundamental point for thousands of projects.
