Mexican Architecture
Architecture and design work from Mexico, spanning residential houses, adaptive reuse, and cultural projects shared by uni.xyz members.
Mexican architecture draws on a long tradition of courtyard houses, thick masonry walls, and a close relationship between built form and landscape. Contemporary practice in the country often reinterprets these traits through concrete, steel, and careful attention to light, privacy, and climate.
Member work under this topic includes single-family residences in places such as Valle de Bravo and San José de Gracia, a renovation of a historic house in Colonia Roma, and cultural and hospitality projects. Together they show how architects here balance regional materials, historic context, and sustainable living.
