Fresno 97 explores the integration of architecture and landscape, where the semi-arid context becomes an active design element. The residence unfolds horizontally over a continuous platform, allowing the landscape to define its language and atmosphere. Native, low-water vegetation shapes outdoor circulation and reinforces biodiversity. Earth-toned plasters, stone walls, and exposed concrete blend the building with its surroundings, while a central courtyard with water and greenery acts as the climatic and social core, fostering a balanced relationship between habitation and nature.
