This week, we conducted a site visit to Casa Escalera, whose structure we adapted to the natural topography of the site, within a coniferous forest near Valle de Bravo, Mexico.

Archstorming, in partnership with Vicente Ferrer Foundation (VFF) and its Indian counterpart, Rural Development Trust (RDT), embarked an architecture competition which challenged participants to design a Community Center that could be adapted and replicated across different villages. Vertebral was among the 2024 competition finalists.
Vertebral's proposal offers integrated areas for education, social interaction, and support. Designed to be sustainable and adaptable, it shall evolve with the collective to create an environment where tradition and nature are interwoven, fostering growth and preserving the village’s cultural heritage.
Vertebral took part in the Architizer A+Awards with Casa Ohana, obtaining Special Mention in the Private House (XL >6000 sq ft) category. With entries received from over 70 countries, the Jury has acknowledged outstanding entries as Special Mentions alongside the Finalists and Winners.
