Mexican architecture studio  Módica Ledezma has chosen earth-toned materials to construct the single-pitched buildings that make up this rural complex of stables in Mexico.
Amongst the forests of Valle de Bravo, in the State of Mexico, Módica Ledezma designed the Equestrian San Ramón facilities to serve a multi-functional program for the care and training of horses.
The Equestrian San Ramón complex is nestled in the forests of Valle de Bravo, in the State of Mexico
The 1,370-square-metre complex was laid out using rigid geometry, with perpendicular volumes connected by intersecting axes that provide routes for the animals and staff.
The buildings form an L shape around four square corrals and a circular "walker" paddock where the horses can spend time outdoors. The buildings are constructed from earth-toned materials that contrast the surrounding greenery
The two stable blocks form the longer branch of the L and are divided into a larger first building and a second smaller one slightly up the hill.
A main "nave" forms a central axis through both buildings, linking the two, with four stables on either side in each section.
The buildings follow strict geometries and are connected by perpendicular axes, which form pathways for the animals and staff
A perpendicular axis divides the first stable in two, and another outdoor corral separates the two buildings, which are architecturally identical.
"Each stable building works interdependently with each ...
