In recent years, mysterious pyramids have been discovered in different parts of the world, indicating that not only the Egyptians created such masterpieces of architecture. Peru, Italy, Indonesia … and now also Mexico. Although, no. The Mexican pyramid, which will be discussed today, is not at all an ancient structure, and it is not at all the tomb of the pharaoh, but the most ordinary house. Although the definition of "ordinary" is completely inappropriate here - it was already possible to design a very high-tech building Juan Carlos Ramos.
If the Polish designer Klaudiusz Golos managed to build the house upside down, then you shouldn't be surprised that Juan Carlos Ramos created a triangular structure. Pyramid House - this is how the author called his creation, the project of which was developed for one of the architecture competitions. The uncomplicated geometric shape attracted Juan Ramos with its ergonomics: despite the fact that such a layout is simple and convenient, it is rarely used by modern builders. Although, due to its originality, of course, it attracts attention.
The main advantage of this house is the abundance of natural light, because the house has four huge windows located on the front walls. One of the windows in the house is almost the entire wall, which visually lightens the structure, makes it almost weightless, airy. The interior of the house is thought out to the smallest detail: on several floors there are two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. At leisure, you can spend time in the library or recording studio. There is a swimming pool and a balcony inside the building. The architect thought through everything to the smallest detail, so one of the "compartments" of the triangle is reserved for the garage. Perhaps, living in such a house is one pleasure!

It was Lidval's buildings that shaped the new look of St. Petersburg at the beginning of the last century, when the streets of the city began to be actively built up with apartment buildings and other large-scale and bold, for those times, buildings
