Casa Cuenca has 10 rooms, each of which is a testament to the careful curation of the expression of Mexican textures and materials. In the space you will find a dialogue between the original traits of Mexican identity and the historical significance of the house, originally built in the 1930s, a period marked by the rise and cultural splendor of Mexico. During this historical moment, Mexico opened its doors to the world, drawing inspiration mainly from Europe. Casa Cuenca was created at the intersection of these eras, adopting the design and architectural elements of Europe, while at the same time celebrating and inviting characteristics native to the Mexican territory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1950s saw the rise of ambitious and experimental design considering art and architecture as complementary disciplines. This period marked another splendor of Mexican innovation, this time however looking inward to create an entirely new aesthetic and dialogue. During this period, the architects of the so-called second generation, such as Abraham Zabludovsky, Teodoro Gonz\u00e1lez de Le\u00f3n, Agust\u00edn Hern\u00e1ndez, Pedro Ram\u00edrez V\u00e1zquez, Luis Barrag\u00e1n, Mathias Goeritz, Ricardo Legorreta, Mario Pani, Clara Porset, among others, were in charge of building the image of a Mexico\u2014one that was strong and stable in its design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cSecond Generation\u201d forever cemented Mexico\u2019s place in the global art and architecture scene. Their legacy ripples through the contemporary design landscape today. At Casa Cuenca, we\u2019re inspired by the aesthetic created during this era\u2014the use of built-ins, geometric shapes, lines, color, and the way natural light was used to highlight these elements in revelatory ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chose the path of restoration to preserve the original details of the house itself. Introducing additional materials such as brick, clay, and natural woods allowing us to work with artisanal craftsmen from the surrounding regions of Puebla, Oaxaca, and Saltillo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Textiles and designs seen throughout the hotel such as rugs, throw blankets, and robes are all an expression of our curated taste. We handpicked the details and collaborated with artisans to conceive of original designs referencing Mexico\u2019s rich textile and craft tradition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result is a hotel that encapsulates a dialogue between the past and the present, combining the architectural splendor of the early 20th century with the cultural richness of our contemporary present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Casa Cuenca we invite you to inhabit the textures of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
