Licen house, a Fine Lozano and Pragma Study House in Nayarit

An architecture that responds totally to nature, this is defined Lican house. Not only because it is organically imbued in the context of the paradisiacal Chacala region, in Nayaritand because its design echoes the nearby beach, which is just a few meters.
