Agustin Hernandez / Taller

Home and studio of architect Agustin Hernandez (1975)

I'm catching up on posts from my last trip to Mexico. This time I ventured to La colonia Bosques de las Lomas on the outskirts of Mexico CIity. It's the richest enclave of the city and where a number of world embassies are located. It was certainly a different environment when Hernandez built here in the mid-seventies.

I don't usually spend much time in Photoshop, but the placement of this streetlight is horrendous.

The architect still lives and works here, although that's not him.

The structure is 130 feet.

Not too far down the hill is another project by Hernandez.  Casa en el aire (Casa Volada) was built in 1991. It's in a gated portion of  Las Lomas and this was as close as I could get.
