Cristina Popescu — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:57:30 +0000

Casa CO, designed by JDEstudio with interiors by Aagnes Studio, is conceived around the pursuit of beauty as a fundamental architectural principle. Rather than treating beauty as a purely aesthetic quality, the project explores it as an organizing force: one that shapes space, materiality, and experience, allowing architecture to become a vessel for reason, spirit, and the sublime.

Andreas Luco — Thu, 05 Dec 2024 16:00:00 +0000

Casa Lantana is a home designed to offer a retreat-like space within the city, fostering both relaxation and connection. It captures the essence of a peaceful getaway while maintaining its urban context. The ground floor becomes an open plan, a terrace-like space where the complete opening of its windows allows the exterior to blend seamlessly with the interior. The heights of the public area are enhanced by a level change that separates the entrance and kitchen from the living and dining areas, maintaining a shared view while distinguishing the spaces through variations in elevation.

XX de Noviembre Apartment Building / Estudio Hidalgo

Valeria Silva — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The Veinte de Noviembre project is an architectural proposal that seeks to dialogue with the general qualities of downtown Guadalajara, and more specifically, with the tradition of the Analco neighborhood, given that the dialogue is established under the premise of architectural modernity. The site allows the building to witness a monumental conversation between eras, manifested through materials ranging from stone and brick to steel and reinforced concrete. Just one block away from Calzada Independencia, it is a participant in the eternal tension between its two sides. It is also indebted to the energy generated by the Plaza de Los Dos Templos, the Mercado Libertad, and the Parish of San José de Analco.

Octo Restaurante / Herre Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Octo Restaurante is a space that came to life in one of the most traditional areas of Guadalajara, Colonia Lafayette. It is a house from the early 1960s, which the architect Luis Fernando Hernández and the creative Luis Manuel Hernández reformed completely to adapt it to the needs demanded by a restaurant where respect for the product, its traceability and technique were the main design axes. Brick, brass, tzalam wood, granite, and blown glass are several of the materials that built the facade of the space, its two staircases, balconies, terraces, and roof, as well as its open kitchen and service areas. Every detail that characterizes the three levels of Octo, opened in November 2021, speaks of a contrast to the sister restaurant called Bruna that preceded it and that is located next to it, a place full of vegetation with several sculptural gardens.

Architecture as a Book of Fiction: Craig Dykers on the Snøhetta-Designed Museum of Environmental Sciences in Mexico

Eduardo Santana Hernández — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 05:00:00 +0000

In Mexico, until recently, unknown to many, an architectural project has been slowly revealing itself to society. The Environmental Sciences Museum (MCA for its Spanish acronym) of the University of Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco is one of the most ambitious architectural projects in Western Mexico. Not only because of its unusual architecture but also because of how it seeks to communicate the mission of a natural history museum, one that can hardly be called traditional.

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 02:00:00 +0000

After the demolition of a house with no historical value located in the centre of Guadalajara, a new house is designed on a lot that stands between party walls, adapted to a complex and diverse urban setting.

LR Clinic / Pérez Gómez Arquitectura

Andreas Luco — Tue, 17 May 2022 03:00:00 +0000

Clínica LR is a building to provide medical care and surgery to the community in the western part of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. It is developed on a very limited site around pre-existing buildings. Its only façade, which faces a busy avenue in Zapopan, receives the rays of the sun every morning, coming from the east. This situation, coupled with the fact that the main hours of operation of the building are during the morning, led us to generate a blind facade to promote the interior comfort of the building, providing ventilation through two patios that cross vertically through the building. Leaving only a wink from the interior to the exterior the reception is a glazed box shaded by the overhang generated by the upper levels.
