Casa Pirules

Casa Pirules is a striking contemporary residence designed by Escobedo Soliz, an internationally acclaimed architecture firm whose practice has been recognized with prestigious awards such as The MoMA Young Architects Program (2016), The Emerging Voices Award by the Architectural League of New York (2020), and the Fritz Höger Preis “Grand Prix” (2020)—the most important global prize in brick architecture. Their work has been exhibited in venues such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, MAXXI in Rome, the Venice Architecture Biennale in Italy, and the Latin American Architecture Biennale in Pamplona, Spain. Behind a 10-meter linear façade, the home combines clean, timeless brickwork with warm wooden details. The layout offers two bedrooms on the main level, plus a principal suite with private jacuzzi and integrated laundry, a second floor study/office with full bath, and an additional half bath for guests—making a total of four full bathrooms plus one half bath. The interiors showcase refined craftsmanship, with oak flooring, local handcrafted tiles, custom closets by La Metropolitana, and red oak details with Blum hardware. At the heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen includes a wine fridge, dishwasher, refrigerator, and independent oven, flowing into a dining and living room with a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the two large, old California pepper trees (pirules in Spanish) around which the house was built. Outdoors, residents can enjoy a lateral garden with plunge-style pool, an additional orchard-ready green space, and a unique water feature that runs gracefully along the staircase, creating a sense of serenity and architectural distinction. A special highlight of the property is the front casita/lock-off space. Thanks to the property’s mixed-use zoning, it was designed to serve not only as a guesthouse or private office, but also as a potential business venue—ideal for a boutique rental, art gallery, café, flower shop, or creative workshop. Additional features include two private parking spaces, a machine room, storage areas, and robust hydraulic infrastructure with cistern, tinaco, absorption wells, and a rainwater collection system. Casa Pirules is more than a home—it is a work of architectural artistry that balances design, sense of place, and versatility, offering both a private sanctuary and an investment opportunity.
