The project sits within a 3,000.00 m2 site and consists of an open-air horse riding arena (90 x 70 Mt.), an indoor riding arena (70 x 35 Mt.), a 3,849.00 m2 paddock, stables for 99 horses, horse facilities, a club house with lounge, restaurant, terrace, shop and administrative facilities, parking space, a 962.00 m2 warehouse for storing horse food and parking space for 10 horse trailers.
The main concept of design was to make a building that enhanced the horse riding experience, as well as the magnificent sightseeing of the forest. The building fits as easily as possible with the current topographic conditions of the site and tries to generate as many unobstructed views as possible.
Within La Reserva, there are strict environmental guidelines, that´s why the project was decided to have a south orientation, 79.17% of roof water collection, the removal and replanting of 73 trees, 12.64% of the construction surface needs radiant heating, the considerable use of skylights, the use of solar power energy and manure management for heating purposes. The building materials needed to have a good thermal efficiency, that´s why the two main materials are natural stone and wood.
All along the design phase there was a strong collaboration between the design, the environmental and the master plan teams. This collaboration has in purpose to carry out a respectful and integrated design that would fit the clients needs.

Hierve is a small multidisciplinary design firm created in 1999 by Alejandro Villarreal, with the purpose to serve society through high quality architectural, product design, visual arts and the development of business model projects.
The word “Hierve” (boiling), derives from the active, moving and dynamic properties of any liquid at its boiling state, from our continual need to create and irradiate ideas, concepts and projects.
The word “Diseñeria” (designery), is a self invented word describing that design is the main activity of our business, just as it is used in a “bakery”, “carpentry” or “smithery”.
