Mexican architect Manuel Cervantes has completed Casa Estudio, his own, new, live/work space in the country’s capital, combining domesticity with ample studio space, local traditions and contemporary architecture
Mexican architect Manuel Cervantes has made his dream of creating his own live/work space come true with Casa Estudio Embedded in one of the many hills that make up Mexico City’s upscale Lomas neighborhood, architect Manuel Cervantes’ recently completed Casa Estudio makes the case for redefining the concept of work-life balance. ‘As an architect who is trying to create personal, domestic, and human spaces, I find that it’s difficult to have conversations about these concepts inside an office space,’ says Cervantes, who began toying with the idea of designing a home and studio for himself in 2014.
The result is a three-bedroom home that integrates an ample studio space, blurring the lines between one and the other, while showcasing the principles that have come to characterize Cervantes’ practice; a structure that pays homage to its construction system by laying it bare, a straightforward materials palette, and the idea of marrying local traditions with contemporary spaces.
It’s no coincidence that these elements are not only characteristic of Mexico City, but share a tendency to become more interesting with age. ‘I imagine the house will only improve as it acquires the patina of time,’ says Cervantes. Linking this idea to the project’s intention of embracing and expressing the local context, he concludes, ‘I can’t imagine a pristine atmosphere expressing Mexico City.
