House of the Sun
Ixtapa, Mexico
Designed by Famed Mexican Architect Diego Villasenor
We love architect Diego Villasenor's vision of primitive, natural elegance and sense of scale that invokes space and freedom. Coexisting harmoniously with the natural environment, the views across the ocean will take you away.
Situated on a bluff overlooking the Ixtapa coast with stunning views across the Pacific, this villa is a luxurious and inspiring blend of elements that are both rustic and and chic.
Designed by famed Mexican architect Diego Villasenor, the juxtaposition of elements and design aesthetic are seamlessly integrated into the land for maximum effect and impact. Quoted in Architectural Digest about his vision, Villasenor says architecture is "about the art of living… and has to emerge from the forms and mechanisms that nature has to offer.”
The masterful use of all-natural materials skillfully mixed with a modern adobe construction and the expansive central palapa create an elegant and interesting compound perched above the sea. Fresh white interiors, cool concrete and a minimalist and modern approach to decor, keeps it casual and easy.
Comprised of the expansive main living and dining areas under the massive central palapa, the house features four en-suite bedrooms that sleep up to eight guests. The master includes its own living space and opens out to the gardens. The dramatic scale and indoor outdoor living style create bright open spaces with room to spread out and entertain. Fully staffed. you'll have a private chef to prepare fresh local fare, or you can prepare meals yourself in the gourmet kitchen.
The tropical and zen gardens offer the best of the native landscape around an infinity pool, expansive sun decks with loungers, and a magnificent view.
With clean minimalist style, the mix of contemporary, traditional and rustic design along with sweeping views will take your breath away.
