Project

Casa Estelí / COLAR Colectivo de Arquitectura

A thoughtful Mexican adaptive-reuse project that converts a deteriorated adobe livestock storehouse into the social center of a low-impact residence. Its independent timber roof, locally sourced masonry, and legible distinction between old and new offer a strong case study in modest, materially grounded preservation.

Location
San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico
Organizations
COLAR Colectivo de Arquitectura — Architect and project designer; Ariadna Polo Fotografía de Arquitectura — Photography; the project is credited to photographer Ariadna Polo

Sordo Madaleno opens a sunken outdoor contemporary-art gallery in Los Cabos

A noteworthy Mexican cultural project in a region dominated by private resort development. Its below-grade public gallery uses architecture, desert climate and coastal light as active curatorial conditions rather than treating the building as a sealed exhibition container.

Location
Ánima Village, Cabo del Sol Tourist Corridor, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Organizations
Sordo Madaleno — Architect; SOMA — Client; Arte Abierto — Client and cultural operator; Artec Creo Lab — Collaborator and adviser; Abraham Cruzvillegas — Opening installation artist
