A glimpse of modern Mexican architecture

Buildings that are bold and modern but deeply rooted in traditional Mexican architecture, this is how Mexico’s modern architectural style is defined. Casa AVANTRA seeks to become a benchmark of Mexican design that has already been presented to the world thanks to figures such as Ricardo Legorreta and Luis Barragán.

It is a highly adaptable style, inspired by diverse civilizations and cultures, which does not lose its essence, even when it incorporates the most current trends, necessary to meet the needs we face today.

 

Materials such as stone, brick and wood, characteristic of the famous colonial style, are mixed with steel and concrete, so present in the most modern constructions. Color, inherited from our indigenous cultures, is also a defining characteristic of modern Mexican architecture.

Vibrant colors have been used by architects and artists such as Luis Barragán, Ricardo Legorreta, and Juan O’Gorman, among others. Color in Mexican architecture has reinforced the identity of different regions and areas within the country.

 

Mexican architects who distinguish themselves in this style are known as functionalists, since they prioritize projects with simple, functional and useful lines, bringing with them a bit of the minimalist trend, where less is more.

 

Casa AVANTRA (AVANTRA House) has been designed to be the culmination of a Mexican style at the limit of the state of the art, combining functionality with beauty. It is here where we can see our values reflected: technological, environmental, wellness, and resilience, which demand perfection in execution, but above all, a strong commitment to our culture and to these figures of architecture, who have become our inspiration.
