Welcome to @casaalonsorebaque - the incredible, rarely photographed home of @otto.martinmoreno designed by legendary architect FΓ©lix Candela in Pedregal in Mexico City.
Designed by Felix Candela, one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, with collaboration from Hector Alonso Rebaque (Otto's grandfather) this is a rare look at his residential work. The hyperbolic paraboloid roof is the star: so thin it looks like draped fabric, but it's actually reinforced concrete. Pure Mexican Modernism: geometry making heavy materials feel weightless, integrated with the raw volcanic landscape.
For the first time since the 1950s, the doors are open. Regina and Otto have reimagined this architectural treasure with contemporary design that honors Candela's vision. #shotoniphone
