Casa Naila, designed by Alfonso Quiñones, is a coastal residence located in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. The project is positioned directly along the Pacific shoreline, responding to climate, exposure, and landscape.
The house is composed of a sequence of linear concrete volumes arranged perpendicular to the ocean. These parallel walls define open air rooms between them, allowing cross ventilation and unobstructed views toward the sea. The structure operates as a series of frames, where enclosure is minimized and space is defined by rhythm and orientation rather than walls.
Material expression is reduced to exposed concrete, allowing the building to withstand the coastal environment while maintaining thermal stability. The open plan and sectional clarity enable continuous airflow, aligning the spatial organization with local climatic conditions.
