The Santillán Livestock project, nestled in the heart of Mexico's Bajío region, stands as a testament to architectural integration with its natural and cultural surroundings. Designed by Cosmos, this facility combines a bullring and an equestrian training ground, drawing inspiration from the area's rich ranching heritage and picturesque landscapes.
Seamlessly Blending Tradition with Modern Design
Project Genesis and Environmental Harmony: Crafting a Vision in the Bajío Landscape
The Santillán Livestock project emerged from a desire to create a facility that respects and enhances the unique characteristics of its location. Situated between Tequisquiapan and La Laja, a region celebrated for its profound ranching traditions and landscapes reminiscent of José María Velasco's paintings, the design brief called for a bullring and an equestrian training area. From its inception, the project was envisioned not as an imposing structure, but as a seamless extension of the natural terrain, deeply integrated into the environment.
