Vancouver Canada| Residence | 2022

The Line House was designed for a young family of four, located in West Point Grey, Vancouver.

Rooted in Passive House principles and designed with aging in place in mind, the home is a thoughtful balance of sustainability, adaptability, and comfort.

Modern in its expression, the architecture also pays tribute to the surrounding heritage context. Its gabled forms and strong linear rhythms reference the enduring character of the neighborhood, creating a dialogue between contemporary living and traditional residential language.

Spread across three levels with two supporting structures — a detached garage and garden studio — the home maximizes space on a compact urban lot. Interior spaces are bright and airy, shaped by natural light, layered materiality, and intentional visual connections to the outdoors.

The Line House is a quiet, confident presence that evolves with the family it shelters — designed to last, adapt, and belong.

Isla Holbox, Mexico | Vacation Residence | In Progress

Casa Kimakol is a family retreat designed for barefoot living on the island of Holbox. Created for a family of five with an extended circle of relatives and guests, the home balances communal gathering with individual privacy — making space for connection and calm.

The architecture is shaped by its tropical context. A lattice-like façade filters sun and breeze, while layered outdoor zones provide shade, openness, and immersion in the landscape. From sunrise coffee on the rooftop to siestas near the pool, the home adapts to the daily rhythms of island life.

The entire house is finished in Chukum, a traditional Mayan stucco made from the resin of the chukum tree and limestone. Naturally water-resistant and breathable, Chukum provides a rich, earthy texture and soft tonal warmth that blends seamlessly with Holbox’s sandy environment — while requiring minimal maintenance in the island's humid climate.

Casa Kimakol unfolds vertically across multiple levels, including mezzanine spaces, garden patios, and a rooftop mirador that opens to the treetops. It is a home for returning to — rooted in family, shaped by light, and open to the elements.

Bend, Oregon | Residential Renovation | In Progress

The Black House is a renovation project nestled in the forested landscape of Bend, Oregon. Originally home to a family of four, the design evolved to accommodate two new members — a reflection of the family’s growth and the changing ways they live together.

With a limited budget, the transformation focused on what mattered most: light, flow, and identity. The exterior was repainted in a matte black palette that both contrasts and complements the surrounding pines. Subtle architectural additions, including new archways, bring softness and rhythm to the existing structure without altering its core.

All interiors were redesigned by our studio, from reimagining each living and bedroom space to crafting a custom kitchen — manufactured in Mexico and shipped to Oregon — that serves as the heart of the home. We curated and sourced all furnishings, creating warm, layered environments that balance elegance with ease.

The Black House is a quiet evolution — a story of growing family, thoughtful reuse, and the comfort of a home that adapts as life unfolds.

Santiago, Nuevo León, Mexico | 2025

Located within the exclusive community of Club de Golf Las Misiones, San Fernando is a refined extension to an existing residence, designed to host and connect. Rooted in a deep respect for the neighborhood’s strict architectural guidelines, the intervention subtly reinterprets traditional forms into a bold, contemporary statement.

The architectural language merges clean lines, warm textures, and natural light to create a space that feels both elevated and welcoming. Every material and detail was selected to support the home's dual purpose: a serene family retreat and a vibrant social hub.

As a turn-key project, Treviño Chabrand managed the full design and delivery, including bespoke furniture selections and lighting. The result is a seamless fusion of imported European pieces and handcrafted Mexican elements—each one adding character, craftsmanship, and cultural depth to the space.

Edo de Mexico, 2019

Nestled at the base of the mountains in Malinalco, this residence is a quiet dialogue between architecture and landscape. Designed as a private retreat, the house embraces its natural surroundings with a warm, grounded presence.

The façade is clad in volcanic stone sourced from the nearby mountains—an elemental material choice that ties the building to its context both physically and symbolically. Terracotta roof tiles, raw concrete, and deep overhangs reinforce the home’s tectonic feel while offering protection from the sun and rain.

Large glass openings and lush vegetation weave the indoors with the outdoors, softening the strong geometry and creating moments of stillness throughout. The architecture privileges natural textures, framed views, and a deep sense of permanence—an atmosphere of refuge in the forested hills.

Located in the heart of Victoria, Salal Residences is a thoughtfully designed multiplex that harmonizes contemporary form with the rhythms of the natural West Coast landscape. Named after the native salal plant, the project embraces simplicity, durability, and a quiet connection to place.

Clean lines, expansive glazing, and generous balconies create a strong visual and spatial relationship with the outdoors—each unit is designed to feel open, grounded, and filled with light.

Crafted for modern families, the architecture balances privacy with community, offering a sense of individual home life within a shared framework. The palette is restrained yet warm, emphasizing texture, longevity, and a timeless aesthetic.

Salal Residences reflects our commitment to creating beautiful, intelligent homes that respond to both their inhabitants and their environment.
