Max Cetto House Studio

Architecture, nature, and Modernism in harmony

AREA

What Makes It Special?

This house, built by architect Max Cetto in 1949, is a gem of the modernist movement in Mexico. It blends functionalist principles with a respect for the natural surroundings of El Pedregal, incorporating volcanic lava, light, and vegetation into its design.

Did You Know…?

Max Cetto collaborated with Luis Barragán and was a key figure in modern Mexican architecture. His home reflects the philosophy that architecture should engage with nature, not impose itself on it.

Don’t Miss

Notice how the large windows frame the landscape as if they were works of art. Their seamless integration with the surroundings makes it an icon of modern architecture in our country.
