Designed by Mauricio Ceballos X Architects for a psychoanalyst and his family, Casa Mague draws inspiration from the Aztec heritage of Malinalco, Mexico. "Malinalco has a strong, ancient cultural identity," says the firm’s director and founder, Mauricio Ceballos Pressler.
"Piramide de Malinalco, one of only three carved pyramids in the world, is near the house and is part of the town’s daily life," he explains. "The inhabitants feel proud of their Aztec roots, and continue with traditions like the local market, food, drinks, and temazcals (or Aztec saunas). Local artists make continuous references to this time in history."
