This modern concrete house "Casa Paracaima" is a modern private residence located in México city. Designed the mexican architects, DCPP Arquitectos. The site of this Casa Paracaima is about 400m2 and a lot of restrictions to the sides and at the front.

This volume contains the main open area with an open terrace, with the roof passing at 7.5 on one side. The other side holds the library.
