Living in Mexico. 45th Ed. cover

This book offers a breathtaking look at Mexico's diverse homes, blending indigenous and Spanish styles, and features stunning unpublished photographs.

The homes of Mexico beautifully combine indigenous tribal designs with Spanish architecture, creating spaces that radiate warmth and textured simplicity. Living in Mexico. 40th Ed. invites readers to explore a captivating collection of villas, casitas, haciendas, cabanas, and palapas, showcasing many unpublished images that vividly illustrate the essence of Mexican style. Rich colors and woven textiles come together to form a unique design aesthetic, resulting from the harmonious blend of local Aztec and Mayan cultures with Spanish influences.

In Living in Mexico. 40th Ed., the dynamic duo of Barbara and René Stoeltie takes readers on an inspiring journey through Mexico's remarkable abodes. Their travels span from the picturesque Costa Careyes to the vibrant Yucatán Peninsula, capturing the essence of each location through stunning photography. The contrast of styles, from the home of Constructivist architect Luis Barragán to traditional Mayan thatched-roof dwellings, highlights the country's diverse palette of textures and hues.

This updated portfolio not only showcases the beauty of these unique homes but also immerses readers in the invigorating and homely atmosphere that defines authentic Mexican living. With many new images, some never before published, Living in Mexico. 40th Ed. is a visual feast that transports you to the heart of lush and eclectic Mexico, inspiring a deeper appreciation for its rich cultural heritage.
