A Verdant Forest Home Taps Into the Cultural Roots of Malinalco, Mexico

Mauricio Ceballos X Architects draws inspiration from the Aztec heritage of Malinalco, Mexico. “Piramide de Malinalco, one of only three carved pyramids in the world, is part of the town’s daily life,” explains Mauricio Ceballos Pressler, the firm’s director and founder. “The inhabitants feel proud of their Aztec roots.” To honor them—and in direct reference to the nearby pyramid—an exterior living area adjacent to the pool features a curved and stepped wood wall. To more broadly echo a Mesoamerican worldview, Pressler designed each room of the 2,906-square-foot home to feel as if it’s woven into the landscape. “Trees have ritual meaning,” he explains. “The roots symbolize the connection to the underworld, the trunks symbolize the earthly human life, and the branches symbolize the connection with the Gods.”" layout="" credit="Photo by Brenda Gabriela Islas Camarena" photoUserId=""/>

Mazpazz Arquitectura, first saw the plot, she was skeptical due to its inaccessibility. Luckily for the client—a film producer and ocean conservationist who dreamed of a place where she could disconnect—the architect was game to take on the project. Casa Salvaje, or Wild House, is an entirely autonomous and self-sustaining home that uses geometric openings to frame its tranquil surroundings. Teaming up with interior designer Ileana Guerrero—who worked with local artisans to craft custom furnishings for the living spaces—and landscape designer Jorge Salgado, the project is a breathtaking example of architecture that connects to the earth. The home’s entrance, which the architect refers to as “the vortex,” takes the form of a concrete cube with two prominent circular openings. Crystals encrusted in the floor capture and reflect the light that passes through the overhead oculus from the sun and moon." layout="" credit="Photo by Andres Garcia Lachner" photoUserId="6828415875557220352"/>
