Casa Mague: Architectural Project Integrating Nature and Memory in Mexico
Casa Mague is a residential architecture project in Mexico that transforms a 1970s house through sensitive integration with its natural and historical context. Designed by Mauricio Ceballos X Architects, the project preserves mature trees on the property, positioning volumes carefully to avoid disturbing roots and canopies. The design creates complex geometries through dialogue with the landscape, using courtyards and transitional spaces to blur boundaries between interior and exterior. Natural light becomes an active element that changes spatial experience throughout the day and seasons. The project appears in Glocal Design Magazine's 87th edition, which highlights significant Mexican architecture and interior design from 2025, including winners of the Noldi Schreck 2025 award.
