Mexico’s domestic architecture scene is on the rise, characterized by innovative homes that play with texture through the use of concrete and stone, maximize the piercing quality of light, and prioritize efficient use of space. Expert architecture photographer Edmund Sumner has rounded up the best examples from the last decade for this new volume, which will fill a gap on the shelves of many architecture and lifestyle-interested readers.
In Casa Mexicana, twenty-six houses showcase the trends and themes in Mexican residential architecture with plans and drawings and a focus on the allure of the contemporary Mexican lifestyle. With stunning photography, the book profiles these sun-saturated houses in extraordinary landscapes.
