@casitamx This quiet home in Mexico City was where Juan O’Gorman, one of Mexico’s most influential architects and painters, spent his final years. Located in the San Angel neighborhood, the home features lush gardens, big windows, and his iconic murals. Beautifully preserved, the home maintains its original colors as well as original floors and more. Born in 1905, O’Gorman helped shape modern Mexico through both architecture and art. He introduced functionalist design to the country with the Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo house in the 1930s, and his mosaic-covered central library at UNAM remains one of the most iconic buildings in Mexico. He died in this home in 1982, leaving behind a legacy that fused modernism with deep cultural roots! Big thanks to @modernismweekmexicocity and @mexico_sothebysrealty for the visit 🫂
