    ‘I don’t use colours perhaps BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW TO’ I’m officially a fan. Architects/designers always get so philosophical and melodramatic when explaining basic things. To hear a genuinely creative person like this guy tell it like it is, is indeed very refreshing.

      right after he said that they pan out and show the entire house, so mellow and unobtrusive in its green surroundings. couldn't decide if he was apologizing. cool guy.

      Hizz Nim architects in general have a incredible sense of form volume shape and composition… Seldom color is a part of this. Color becomes secondary, because us as humans we experience space on a different level. Well color is very direct and very superficial, space is instinctive that we just fit in blending in move within it. some of the best architects have managed to elevate architecture to a form of sculpture that we live in....

      I agree.I worked as a Real Estate (at Keller Williams) Agent in Mexico, and thanks to that beautiful experience I discovered how GREAT AND UNIQUE (creativity,perfection at a very high level) are Mexicans Architecs. Everytime i visited their masterpieces in Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Aventuras, TULUM I felt so proud, lucky for the privilege of offering their products on pre sale, or already finished. I LOVE YOU MEXICO!!!

    Very elegant. Quietly integrated into the landscape. Beautiful ways of exploiting light and shade, water and grass, stone and plaster. Masterful focal fireplace with the simplicity of a vertical slice as ornament. A wonderful retreat with retirement in mind. A nice reward for a dedicated designer.

    Very superficial exposure to an interesting home. The videos are nicely done but we don't get areal sense of the spaces. I'm assuming the owners want to keep their privacy but what's the point of these if you can't see all the rooms etc?

    The way those two cars are shown in this video is just amazing. Even though you can`t see them entirely, you can recognize both of them instantly (Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz). It gives you an idea of how wealthy their owners are, however, the fact that only a few seconds are allocated to present them also shows that, they`re not of central importance, the house is. This video is simply beautiful.

      He understands the house will last longer than he will. He wants someone who will maintain it and keep it true to his design. Which means he expects the next person to have the kind of resources that will be able to afford those things. Also, servants are more popular in countries outside the US...

    We never get a view of the floor plan or elevations, overall dimensions and flow, and so on. We do get a lot of close-ups of decor, shadowed walls, and a few mid-range establishing shots. Directors make their own choices, yes, but this leaves the viewer hanging with a lot of unanswered questions.
