- Enhanced by the subdued browns and grays of the soaring landscape, Villa ITO stands as an expansive estate that harmoniously marries genuine Mexican influences, contemporary concrete architecture, and Japanese design principles. This captivating fusion celebrates uncluttered spaces and an aesthetic communion with the surrounding natural environment, creating an immersive sanctuary of unrivaled beauty.

Open Plan is born with the purpose of showcasing unique and singular visions of design and architecture in Mexico.
Do not know what is the best part. The tone of voice used describing the house and its purpose? The cinematic and video editing? The minimalist theme? The area where it was built? The house?
Oh, I got it......all of it!
Wow, thanks a lot for your words. They inspire us to keep going!
Agreed.
This is how you put soul into the brut ❤ I have never seen a better use for concrete before; absolutely brilliant!
Glad you like it!
agree. It creates something that feels timeless . What year is it? What day is it? Wonderful Villa
The main issue with brutalist design in architecture is that they tend to look and feel cold and foreboding- the designer even described the high walls as prison-like, but to me the entire house took the opposite effect of being open and even welcoming. Taking inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, the garden, the furniture, the floor plan, even the fountain, the house looked and felt serene and comfortable to me, like a warm cocoon. Beautiful work!
i agree. the home felt warm and inviting. i first experience brutalism as a kid in the 1970s at university of south florida. i hated it without knowing why. i don't hate this home.
You can thank Kim k for that and the GREIGE movement. Her cathedral mansion started this whole viral trend
Just needs a nice coat of paint.
I personally would not qualify it as brutalism. It lacks scale, and as such is a proxy of adobe style houses save the modern cement material, which is what distinguishes it. But cement use doesn't defacto qualify it as brutalism either. The smooth walls, limited openings, stacked tiers, are similar to a Ziggurat or other ancient monolithic constructions. It also make sense given its environment and the humility of those times and its location. Those spaces are inviting because of the way they naturally convey strength, structure, and safety in their environments. Brutalism by comparison is almost the opposite. It lacks harmony, and the large pours of concrete often include cantilevers, narrow piers, or angled columns that don't convey a strong bases. Its why brutalism is the architectural poster child of every dystopian film, quite literally a place you don't want to live.
Brutalist design is done because of cost. I'd rather have a prison feeling structure than rent a house. A home is what you make of it. Brutalist houses provide the bare necessities. It's up to the owner to add things to make it a real home.
Por fin un canal estilo The Local Project para arquitectura mexicana.
Se vienen mas cosas :)
This is great architecture fitting so nicely into the beautiful landscape. The house is marvellous. The video presentation is perfect.
Thanks for your words, Pierre. Hope you can share the video :)
You are absolutely right. I think that is how many other architects get brutalism wrong. They draw something to make it stand out instead of like this, try to make it blend in.
I have always felt that this type of architecture is best placed in a setting like this where it isn't next door to a older, embellished house that will almost always outshine it.
The narrator and his story telling was just as wonderfully pieced as the villa was designed. Bravo!
Thanks for watching!! 🙂
Hi there, any chance to learn who is this gentleman, thank you
I'm literally in tears. So moved by this house. Never experienced something similar...
wow, thanks for sharing!
Burying Brutalist Architecture is always a good idea, and the deeper the better!
Don't agree but funny comment!
This house is beautiful and looks/feels like a peaceful environment! Then you add the videography/cinematography, the beautiful, zen, mysterious shots and the creator of the piece narrating. Wow! Just a beautiful video!
Thanks for your comment aygo… keep in touch for season 2 🙌🏼👍🏻
I can't remember the last time I saw such a perfect home - stunningly beautiful!
We are glad you liked it Alex, thanks for the comment!
Wow🎉 lo mejor que he visto, casa tranquila 👌🏽
When I think of Mexican modernismo, this is exactly what I envision. I would not only love to live in this gorgeous villa, but also haunt its beautiful interior spaces after I'm dead. This place feels eternal; like it's been there for a thousand years and will still be there for a thousand more. An enchanting ode to the timelessness of Mexican minimalism. Simply put: Perfection! ❤❤
Thanks for your valuable comment, so mystical and perfect villa. More videos coming josh!
First of all, can you tell us what Mexican Modernism exactly is?
and also can you tell us what the heck is Mexican Minimalism?
Btw, la gente de "Espacio Franco", es imposible que puedan ser mas mamadores
Any particular reason why you couldn't haunt if after you're dead?
Waa la perta del acceso exterior se parece a la puerta de la película del Gladiador, me encanta.
Nosotros vimos lo mismo cuándo estábamos editando el video! Haha
@@Open_Plan jaja pues ahora tengo ganas de verla xd
Que gran trabajo de fotografía y narrativa, de estos videos hacen falta más en internet
Gracias Andrés
Absolutely stunning piece of architecture... making such a hard material (concrete) feel so cozy and soft is just pure art.
I would not call anything about that house "cosy" or "soft". There's not a single warm accent or soft thing in there. It's just concrete and hard wood furniture / chairs. Even the couches are rigid and uncomfortable looking. It's beautiful, absolutely. But it's not cosy at all.
@@brunonumerouno agree. Very minimalist but beautiful.
It depends on what cosy and soft feels like to you. This home to me is very feminine and maybe soft too
@@projectxtechnologies9440 Isn't it funny that today's minimalism was just yesterday's poor? The sparsity of the furniture feels so lonely to me. I don't like clutter, lots of little things to dust, but this is depressing to me. It feels like the end. Or like a convent, no material things. And yet I can clearly tell it isn't cheap home. But the bathroom fixtures and counters, the flat roof, the windows and doors make me think , hotel. It doesn't feel soft to me. When I see concrete I think prison walls, bomb shelters, tornado shelters, unfinished mechanical room in basement, industrial buildings, power plants. And none of those things are feminine to me. They're just utilitarian. But it's all a matter of personal opinion. Some people find beauty in the desert. I don't like the barren vastness of it because it feel a bit hopeless. Give me streams, a spring or waterfall, climbable trees, the smell of earth and leaves, apple trees in the yard of a stone cottage, maybe with a thatched roof. I need ducks in my yard. I do love to see different architectural styles even if I don't personally enjoy them. I'd be so curious to see a family moving through their lives in this home. I know my kids wouldn't like it. They like things like log cabins and chalets.
ironically it’s not brutal at all. it’s so calm and peaceful.
Brutalist is simply a term for basic architecture.
@@jdos5643 No, it's not. It describes architecture rendered in bare (brut) concrete.
The simplicity of the design allows the house to speak with the comfort and lifestyle of easy, breezy and relaxing well done bravo
Me gusta cómo se cuenta ..., la realización. Es una casa hermosa, cruda, natural, bella, cinematográfica.
Qué hermoso escuchar a alguien enamorado de su proceso y su obra, que no te habla desde el ego o los tecnisismos sino de su pasión por el arte, nunca buscando ser perfecto sino conectar con el proceso más allá de si mismo. Heeeermoooosooooo.
What a stunning house. So much light and shadows. Beautifully done
Aaawww well said :)
This is, without any doubt, a house I would move in a second. Watching this made me cry (for real), because is perfect.
Wow!
Agreed. It embodies a serenity I lack in myself and would hope to find there (foolishly, perhaps)
@@VelkePivo no, it's not foolish at all. I mean, to buy that house won't automatically give you the serenity, but the idea of a place like that, the elements that conform it, definitely it's a trigger
As long a I can have room in the house as well, Jorge Luis! From the moment I clicked on this video I was in architectural heaven and when they opened that low door onto the courtyard, I was in love. I, too found myself breathless and misty-eyed. Not trying to be so dark, but I thought how beautiful a place outside near that pool to pass away. So moving
An emotional experience. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you for your words! We're glad you had an emotional experience watching the video and find it stunning. Your support is very valuable to us. We hope you continue to enjoy our content in the future.
Gran trabajo en todo sentido y para todos los sentidos .. Me llegó al corazón las texturas, los materiales, la imperfección de las piezas únicas y simples, como se conjugan la luz y las sombras naturales en distintas horas del día y en el día a día .. la privacidad de la finca, como también la limpieza de las líneas puras en sus acabados. Es un espacio en donde lo simple y natural, se vuelve arte de vivir un espacio que está vivo y te invita a que lo vivas con todos tus sentidos.
Gran trabajo de arquitectura y de fotografía, acompañada de una narrativa exquisita en los sonidos de la voz humana. Felicitaciones a todo el equipo 👍
I could listen to his voice forever. Great design.
Thanks for watching g Brigitte!
CHILE 🇨🇱 Hermosa obra de arte compenetrado con la tierra y la naturaleza espacios de luz y sombras un refugio para el descanzo y quietud del espíritud 🌾🍃☀️🏡

Esto no es sólo una casa, es una obra de arte. Felicitaciones a todos.
Gracias por tu comentario Lucas! Ya viene la temporada 2…
El video completo es una obra de arte!
Que hermosa casa, entra en compketa armonia con los paisajes de méxico.
Gracias por vernos y comentar, ¡Muchos saludos!
Just wow. I also can't express my feelings, but this is definitely something out of this world. It is so pure, clean and beautiful, a pure perfection. Total relax and aesthetical comfort.
Couldn't agree more!
To contrast; I am living in an old victorian with my wife and 5 boys. The "absence of clutter" in this video was pure "Architecture Porn" to me. Cold, yet beautiful design. Impeccable execution. Just....WOW!
It's interesting to see how different styles and approaches can evoke such diverse emotions in people. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Es una casa lienzo maravillosa, es cómo un bastidor para un cuadro donde las personas pongan el color de la vida. Es una página en blanco de aparente sencillez donde escribir capítulos de vida. Fascinante en todos sus espacios.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Beautiful in every way, including the cinematography.
Thank you very much! I'm really glad you find the cinematography beautiful. I hope you continue to enjoy our content. Greetings!!!!
Que manera de documentar los espacios! Es un disfrute total ver este video. Las tomas, el recorrido y la narrativa son de otro nivel. Sigue compartiendo mas hermano, cada vez pones la vara mas alta! Calidad en estado puro.

This house is absolutely THRILLING!
Thank you for your comment! We're thrilled that you find the house exciting. We hope you continue to enjoy our content. Greetings!!
I honestly think this is the first time I have ever said this about a house, and that is "I wouldn't change a thing". Boy is my head is exploding with some great ideas for my own villa I will be building in Lombok. Villa Ito has just become my favourite home in the world (sorry Falling Waters and Frank Lloyd wright).
Knowing that from our channel you could now have a favorite house.. is a pleasure Jon. Thanks for sharing!
Hermosa obra nunca transgrede al entorno más bien subraya la magnificencia de este ...
Muy de acuerdo con tu comentario, no olvides compartir!
As beautifully presented with video, music & heartfelt narration as the home is designed, built, furnished & landscaped from the heart. Well done x2.
Thanks for you kind words
Beautifully elegant, and it's certainly looks defensible.
It certainly does
If i would to buy a home in this life it would be this honestly without regrets at all and would be there for ever ❤

Fabulous! Love the contrast of the concrete and stone walls.
Thank you for watching the video and leaving your comment!!
Impresionante como el tiempo autografía los materiales. Y la tranquilidad que proyecta todo el conjunto.
Así es en efecto :)
Nice incorporation of FLW’s concept of space with the door size.
Absolutely gorgeous!
It is
Thank you for speaking about this place without the usual architectural bs, and whilst still not diminishing the beautiful work here.
we're glad you like the work; it's a pleasure to convey the beauty of architectural projects. Thank you for your comment!!!
I'm not even sure that there is a word in the English Dictionary that explains the feeling that this house occupies. It has soul and that's what a home should feel like 👏
As always thanks for sharing and comment Deborah! Stay tuned…
This house is beautiful 🤩
It really is!
Feel... rather think. Stunning work. Piece of art from the soul!
Thanks for sharing 🫶🏻
Only One word : Wonderful !
This house reminds me so much of the traditional architecture of Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
Esta casa 🏠 Transmite Paz ❤
Mucha! :)
I THINK, THAT MIGHT BE THE
COOLEST & COZIEST HOME
I'VE EVER SEEN ! ALSO THE
NARRATION AND CINAMATIC
SHOTS W/ THE TRANQUIL
MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND
WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
IN COMPLETING THE EFFECT.
I WISH I COULD LIVE THERE !
Thank you for your words. Glad you liked it and hope you stay with us in the future. More content on the way!
I love this type of home, it declutters the mind. Love it.
Exactly!
No es una casa es una experiencia. Una mezcla perfecta de mis 2 estilos preferidos, el mexico antiguo y el wabi sabi. Vi millones de casas pero esta es la mas hermosa que vi en mi vida. Dichosos los dueños.
Nos da gusto que hayas disfrutado del video y de la casa :)
Magnifique! une pure merveille de simplicité.
Oui!
Stunning casa you have created what feels like a surreal dream. Beautiful
Hermoso....................tranquilidad y paz!
Mucha!!
Usted es un gran profesional al ir describiendo cada rincón de esta enorme casa, gracias muy bella .
Gracias por tu comentario Leandro
At first from the exterior one would think this home is boring, however, it is anything but boring.
This is one of the most beautiful, and intelligently designed home I’ve seen. I love how the architect explains everything behind the build from the front door to the 80-year old olive trees to the tree planted outside the owners library. So much thought went into this home, it’s incredible.
This is what excellent architecture is all about!!!
We’re happy you enjoyed it!
This home is a dream. A dream narrated trough its creator, what a marvellous experience, a gift you gave us. Thank you very much
Thank you for watching!
WOW la arquitectura, el interiorismo y el paisajismo simplemente exquisito.
You know, now that I think about it. So much of the Mexican aesthetic (the starchy pastel walls, wooden portón and its latches) are all quite monolithic. It isn't until you bypass the giant wooden door, you discover an entire world behind those monolitihc pastel walls. It's actually quite beautiful. I've observed so many spaces in Mexico like this.
I am so moved by the beauty of this work of art. Thank you for the video.
This type of feedback motivates us!
I find peace whenever I look 🙏
Us too!
Sencilla, funcional, simple.... sencillamente maravillosa. 🥰😍
Un magnífico trabajo. 💪
Felicidades.
I love the house because it blends with nature around so beautifully. It is lovely i have no words

La mejor producción que he visto ha la fecha. Y la casa está en primer lugar en mi lista. Cada vez mejor este canal. Felicidades!
Gracias Fer 😁🫶🏻
Gorgeous. So glad you went there. Brutal and beautiful yet feels warm all the way through. Well done you.
Thank you very much!
Para mí es la perfección, es la naturaleza y los materiales quienes decidieron que ser.
Gracias por compartir tu pensar y sentir. Saludos, no olvides compartir.
i LOVE hyper minimalistic houses but this house has the right balance of everything i’ve ever dreamed of, it’s absolutely PERFECT. one day i’ll build a home like this 😌
