Today's Mexican home is a sight to behold.
Built in a beautiful setting rich in flora and fauna and designed by ZD+A, this is a breathtaking home that integrates very modern and stylish features with its natural environs.
We are also going to learn more about subtle and sophisticated modern architecture and design, while still utilizing the old favorites.
Let's not waste any more time .. nature and cutting-edge design await!
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
—Albert Einstein
From the get-go, we can see just how impressive this home is. There are several layers and storeys, which all fit together like lego blocks. This gives a very edgy, eclectic and dynamic look and feel to the exterior.
We can see that almost the entire facade is finished in glass, opening the house up onto the beautiful nature that surrounds it.
Remember that the exterior of your home is the first impression that people will get not only of how you live but who you are. Make it count! Opt for soft lighting in the garden, a freshly cut lawn and a well-maintained facade.
On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.
—Jules Renard
If we look at the exterior facade a little more closely, we can see how neutral and subtle it is—a great option when it comes to a large structure. When you have such a large home, you can afford to go for simpler tones that add sophistication and elegance to the exterior.
In this image, we can see how a library/piano room opens up onto a little courtyard. Throughout this home, a theme of transparent transition between the interior and exterior spaces—a common feature in modern architecture.
The exterior walls are a soft sand color, which blends in perfectly with the natural greens and browns of the garden.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
—Anthony J. D'Angelo
If we move inside this home, we can see how the soft tones that we saw outside are present throughout the interior as well. This creates a very warm and inviting home and softens the effect that the large home may have on people.
The living room is simple and classic with a neutral-colored L-shaped sofa, white walls, glass windows and doors and a white floor. A trendy rug featuring different shades of brown warms up this space.
You'll notice that the designers have added subtle strokes of color in the form of cushions or vases of flowers. This is a great tip for any home! If you ever need to change the look and feel of the room, you can simply swap out the cushions.
Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
—Hans Christian Andersen
The bathroom of this beautiful home is exquisite, featuring tons of natural light. It is partially separated from the bedroom by a wall, offering privacy, while still feeling spacious.
The designers have opted for a classic white and grey bathroom, which gives a very tranquil and relaxed feeling to this space. This is how a bathroom should feel. You want to be able to relax in a hot bath after a long day or brush your teeth in peace, getting you ready for the day!
Natural light, as we've mentioned before, plays a huge part in the design of this house and here we can see why. It filters into the space, warming it up. The large windows also allow for panoramic views of the surrounds—perfect for when you're soaking in the bubbles!

Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

We've seen examples of how the interior and exterior spaces merge into one another and the terrace is another perfect example.
Glass doors fold back, opening the interior living space up onto the exterior living space. This not only makes for a more spacious living area in general, but it allows for the terrace to be fully utilized in the summer months.
You'll notice that while the terrace furniture is beautiful and modern, it's slightly more hardy than the furniture we've seen inside the home. This is because the outdoor furniture needs to be slightly more durable so that it can withstand all of the weather elements. This is no reason to compromise on aesthetics though!

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
—Khalil Gibran
We end off our tour in this cozy living room, where the brown leather furniture works in perfect harmony with the wooden fireplace and the bright splashes of color used throughout the space in the form of cushions and artwork.
From this angle, we can see that the room not only opens up onto the terrace that we saw in the previous image, but it also opens up onto a quaint and magnificent garden on the other side. The garden features stone steps that lead up away from the house as well as a variety of flowers and plants. Don't you feel like you're in a fairy tale just looking at this picture?
Everything about this home is peaceful, modern and magical!
