Architecture firm ARGDL has shared photos of a home they completed in Tapalpa, Mexico, that’s built using stone, wood, and glass.

Local stone was used to generate the main volumes of the home, while the regional pine can be seen in the roof structure as well as the window and door frames, and glass has been used to achieve internal transparency with the landscape.
