Casa Tonalli is a small rest villa located in the town of Jocotepec, Jalisco, in western Mexico, just minutes from Lake Chapala, in a region known for its pleasant temperate climate for much of the year. The project is part of a set of small constructions located on family land. The architect’s commission was to develop a self-sufficient guest house with all the necessary amenities to comfortably accommodate a couple in minimal space, simultaneously serving as short-term accommodation for the family’s youngest son and occasionally as rental lodging through an application.
