Chelem Coastal Residence

A modern coastal home designed for a Gulf-of-Mexico site, proof that Caton's reach extends well beyond Kansas City.

Designing internationally means designing for a different climate, a different code environment, and a different way of living. This coastal residence in Chelem, Mexico embraces its site with a dramatic sloped roofline and generous glazing oriented to capture sea breezes and views.

The design balances openness with shade and durability appropriate to a coastal environment, a clear example of the firm's listen-first philosophy applied far from home.
