Open Plan is born with the purpose of showcasing unique and singular visions of design and architecture in Mexico.
Do not know what is the best part. The tone of voice used describing the house and its purpose? The cinematic and video editing? The minimalist theme? The area where it was built? The house?
Oh, I got it......all of it!
Wow, thanks a lot for your words. They inspire us to keep going!
Agreed.
Yeah, a brilliant production
The narrator and his story telling was just as wonderfully pieced as the villa was designed. Bravo!
Thanks for watching!! 🙂
Hi there, any chance to learn who is this gentleman, thank you
When I think of Mexican modernismo, this is exactly what I envision. I would not only love to live in this gorgeous villa, but also haunt its beautiful interior spaces after I'm dead. This place feels eternal; like it's been there for a thousand years and will still be there for a thousand more. An enchanting ode to the timelessness of Mexican minimalism. Simply put: Perfection! ❤❤
Thanks for your valuable comment, so mystical and perfect villa. More videos coming josh!
First of all, can you tell us what Mexican Modernism exactly is?
and also can you tell us what the heck is Mexican Minimalism?
Btw, la gente de "Espacio Franco", es imposible que puedan ser mas mamadores
Any particular reason why you couldn't haunt if after you're dead?
This is how you put soul into the brut ❤ I have never seen a better use for concrete before; absolutely brilliant!
Glad you like it!
agree. It creates something that feels timeless . What year is it? What day is it? Wonderful Villa
Absolutely stunning piece of architecture... making such a hard material (concrete) feel so cozy and soft is just pure art.
I would not call anything about that house "cosy" or "soft". There's not a single warm accent or soft thing in there. It's just concrete and hard wood furniture / chairs. Even the couches are rigid and uncomfortable looking. It's beautiful, absolutely. But it's not cosy at all.
@@brunonumerouno agree. Very minimalist but beautiful.
It depends on what cosy and soft feels like to you. This home to me is very feminine and maybe soft too
@@projectxtechnologies9440 Isn't it funny that today's minimalism was just yesterday's poor? The sparsity of the furniture feels so lonely to me. I don't like clutter, lots of little things to dust, but this is depressing to me. It feels like the end. Or like a convent, no material things. And yet I can clearly tell it isn't cheap home. But the bathroom fixtures and counters, the flat roof, the windows and doors make me think , hotel. It doesn't feel soft to me. When I see concrete I think prison walls, bomb shelters, tornado shelters, unfinished mechanical room in basement, industrial buildings, power plants. And none of those things are feminine to me. They're just utilitarian. But it's all a matter of personal opinion. Some people find beauty in the desert. I don't like the barren vastness of it because it feel a bit hopeless. Give me streams, a spring or waterfall, climbable trees, the smell of earth and leaves, apple trees in the yard of a stone cottage, maybe with a thatched roof. I need ducks in my yard. I do love to see different architectural styles even if I don't personally enjoy them. I'd be so curious to see a family moving through their lives in this home. I know my kids wouldn't like it. They like things like log cabins and chalets.
This is, without any doubt, a house I would move in a second. Watching this made me cry (for real), because is perfect.
Wow!
Agreed. It embodies a serenity I lack in myself and would hope to find there (foolishly, perhaps)
@@VelkePivo no, it's not foolish at all. I mean, to buy that house won't automatically give you the serenity, but the idea of a place like that, the elements that conform it, definitely it's a trigger
As long a I can have room in the house as well, Jorge Luis! From the moment I clicked on this video I was in architectural heaven and when they opened that low door onto the courtyard, I was in love. I, too found myself breathless and misty-eyed. Not trying to be so dark, but I thought how beautiful a place outside near that pool to pass away. So moving
Que gran trabajo de fotografía y narrativa, de estos videos hacen falta más en internet
Gracias Andrés
I'm literally in tears. So moved by this house. Never experienced something similar...
wow, thanks for sharing!
Por fin un canal estilo The Local Project para arquitectura mexicana.
Se vienen mas cosas :)
This is great architecture fitting so nicely into the beautiful landscape. The house is marvellous. The video presentation is perfect.
Thanks for your words, Pierre. Hope you can share the video :)
You are absolutely right. I think that is how many other architects get brutalism wrong. They draw something to make it stand out instead of like this, try to make it blend in.
I have always felt that this type of architecture is best placed in a setting like this where it isn't next door to a older, embellished house that will almost always outshine it.
The main issue with brutalist design in architecture is that they tend to look and feel cold and foreboding- the designer even described the high walls as prison-like, but to me the entire house took the opposite effect of being open and even welcoming. Taking inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, the garden, the furniture, the floor plan, even the fountain, the house looked and felt serene and comfortable to me, like a warm cocoon. Beautiful work!
i agree. the home felt warm and inviting. i first experience brutalism as a kid in the 1970s at university of south florida. i hated it without knowing why. i don't hate this home.
You can thank Kim k for that and the GREIGE movement. Her cathedral mansion started this whole viral trend
Just needs a nice coat of paint.
I personally would not qualify it as brutalism. It lacks scale, and as such is a proxy of adobe style houses save the modern cement material, which is what distinguishes it. But cement use doesn't defacto qualify it as brutalism either. The smooth walls, limited openings, stacked tiers, are similar to a Ziggurat or other ancient monolithic constructions. It also make sense given its environment and the humility of those times and its location. Those spaces are inviting because of the way they naturally convey strength, structure, and safety in their environments. Brutalism by comparison is almost the opposite. It lacks harmony, and the large pours of concrete often include cantilevers, narrow piers, or angled columns that don't convey a strong bases. Its why brutalism is the architectural poster child of every dystopian film, quite literally a place you don't want to live.
Brutalist design is done because of cost. I'd rather have a prison feeling structure than rent a house. A home is what you make of it. Brutalist houses provide the bare necessities. It's up to the owner to add things to make it a real home.
ironically it’s not brutal at all. it’s so calm and peaceful.
Brutalist is simply a term for basic architecture.
@@jdos5643 No, it's not. It describes architecture rendered in bare (brut) concrete.
Waa la perta del acceso exterior se parece a la puerta de la película del Gladiador, me encanta.
Nosotros vimos lo mismo cuándo estábamos editando el video! Haha
@@Open_Plan jaja pues ahora tengo ganas de verla xd
I can't remember the last time I saw such a perfect home - stunningly beautiful!
We are glad you liked it Alex, thanks for the comment!
Esto no es sólo una casa, es una obra de arte. Felicitaciones a todos.
Gracias por tu comentario Lucas! Ya viene la temporada 2…
El video completo es una obra de arte!
Me gusta cómo se cuenta ..., la realización. Es una casa hermosa, cruda, natural, bella, cinematográfica.
No es una casa es una experiencia. Una mezcla perfecta de mis 2 estilos preferidos, el mexico antiguo y el wabi sabi. Vi millones de casas pero esta es la mas hermosa que vi en mi vida. Dichosos los dueños.
Nos da gusto que hayas disfrutado del video y de la casa :)
I honestly think this is the first time I have ever said this about a house, and that is "I wouldn't change a thing". Boy is my head is exploding with some great ideas for my own villa I will be building in Lombok. Villa Ito has just become my favourite home in the world (sorry Falling Waters and Frank Lloyd wright).
Knowing that from our channel you could now have a favorite house.. is a pleasure Jon. Thanks for sharing!
Qué hermoso escuchar a alguien enamorado de su proceso y su obra, que no te habla desde el ego o los tecnisismos sino de su pasión por el arte, nunca buscando ser perfecto sino conectar con el proceso más allá de si mismo. Heeeermoooosooooo.
This house is beautiful and looks/feels like a peaceful environment! Then you add the videography/cinematography, the beautiful, zen, mysterious shots and the creator of the piece narrating. Wow! Just a beautiful video!
Thanks for your comment aygo… keep in touch for season 2 🙌🏼👍🏻
Just wow. I also can't express my feelings, but this is definitely something out of this world. It is so pure, clean and beautiful, a pure perfection. Total relax and aesthetical comfort.
Couldn't agree more!
Impresionante como el tiempo autografía los materiales. Y la tranquilidad que proyecta todo el conjunto.
Así es en efecto :)
Podría ver este video mil veces sin aburrirme, y cada vez le encuentro un encanto diferente. Felicitaciones
Que gusto saberlo! Gracias
la casa es inprecionantemente Hermosa, mexico tiene una de las mejores arquitecturas del mundo y el documental refleja el profecionalismo de quienes lo realizaron.
Gran trabajo en todo sentido y para todos los sentidos .. Me llegó al corazón las texturas, los materiales, la imperfección de las piezas únicas y simples, como se conjugan la luz y las sombras naturales en distintas horas del día y en el día a día .. la privacidad de la finca, como también la limpieza de las líneas puras en sus acabados. Es un espacio en donde lo simple y natural, se vuelve arte de vivir un espacio que está vivo y te invita a que lo vivas con todos tus sentidos.
Gran trabajo de arquitectura y de fotografía, acompañada de una narrativa exquisita en los sonidos de la voz humana. Felicitaciones a todo el equipo 👍
CHILE 🇨🇱 Hermosa obra de arte compenetrado con la tierra y la naturaleza espacios de luz y sombras un refugio para el descanzo y quietud del espíritud 🌾🍃☀️🏡
Saludos hasta Chile! Tierra hermosa
WOW la arquitectura, el interiorismo y el paisajismo simplemente exquisito.
Wow, qué manera de fluir. Me hubiese encantado verla de noche. Seguramente es increíble el juego de luces y sombras. Amo su contenido. Gracias.
Gracias a ti por seguir con nosotros!!
Es una casa lienzo maravillosa, es cómo un bastidor para un cuadro donde las personas pongan el color de la vida. Es una página en blanco de aparente sencillez donde escribir capítulos de vida. Fascinante en todos sus espacios.
Que manera de documentar los espacios! Es un disfrute total ver este video. Las tomas, el recorrido y la narrativa son de otro nivel. Sigue compartiendo mas hermano, cada vez pones la vara mas alta! Calidad en estado puro.
Gracias, hermano por tu lindo comentario!
Has visto @TheLocalProject ?, son de australia y me parece que es una manera muy parecida.. casí una copia tbh pero muy buena
Una belleza rústica, el jardín la arquitectura y la deco!!!
Que bueno que te gusto!! Gracias por tu comentario.
I'm not even sure that there is a word in the English Dictionary that explains the feeling that this house occupies. It has soul and that's what a home should feel like 👏
As always thanks for sharing and comment Deborah! Stay tuned…
Magnifique! une pure merveille de simplicité.
Oui!
Que maravilloso Don tienen para narrar los espacios, las tomas, la música, como esperan las diferentes horas del día de verdad es delicioso ver cada uno de sus videos🙏🏾

Usted es un gran profesional al ir describiendo cada rincón de esta enorme casa, gracias muy bella .
Gracias por tu comentario Leandro
This is a unique getaway home. That zen and therapeutic feeling. Amazing!
It’s amazing :)
To contrast; I am living in an old victorian with my wife and 5 boys. The "absence of clutter" in this video was pure "Architecture Porn" to me. Cold, yet beautiful design. Impeccable execution. Just....WOW!
It's interesting to see how different styles and approaches can evoke such diverse emotions in people. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Perfecto...!!!
cuando la arquitectura es bien aplicada no necesita explicación ella habla por si sola....ese proyecto es una genialidad felicidades al arquitecto maestro creador...💯✔️🕉️✅✅✅✅👌👌👌👌👌
tienes toda la razón, saludos calurosos.
Stunning casa you have created what feels like a surreal dream. Beautiful
An emotional experience. Absolutely stunning.

Espectacular Casa
Gracias por comentar, José.
This is one of the most beautiful home I ever seen clean lines. Everything is just perfect thank you.
Thank you for sharing Antonio! Stay tuned for season 2…
At first from the exterior one would think this home is boring, however, it is anything but boring.
This is one of the most beautiful, and intelligently designed home I’ve seen. I love how the architect explains everything behind the build from the front door to the 80-year old olive trees to the tree planted outside the owners library. So much thought went into this home, it’s incredible.
This is what excellent architecture is all about!!!
We’re happy you enjoyed it!
wow simplemente espectacular!! ❤❤
Sin duda
Fabulous in every way!
Gorgeous. So glad you went there. Brutal and beautiful yet feels warm all the way through. Well done you.
Thank you very much!
This house is beautiful 🤩
It really is!

If i would to buy a home in this life it would be this honestly without regrets at all and would be there for ever ❤
A Wonderful piece of art. Exactly what I would like for myself, just loving it
Your minimalistic architecture is very great! Silent, cubical and a lot of pure surface. Nature can really come in its own. Thank you so much, A.
Hello! Thank you very much for your comment. I'm really glad that you find the minimalist architecture of this house so impressive. Although I'm not the architect of the work, I feel honored to have had the opportunity to document this magnificent creation. The combination of simplicity and the way nature integrates is truly inspiring. I hope you continue to enjoy our content and that it continues to captivate you! 😊
Maravillosa!!

Gracias Matias! Saludos 🫶🏻
Soy diseñador 3d arquitectónico, supieron darle una profundidad espiritual, de alguna forma expresar la magia que hay detrás de un diseño
Oh My God...that is Gorgeous ! Incredible Design...Congratulations !🍾
Thanks for watching Trudy! 🫶🏻
Este recorrido fue mágico! Hermosa propiedad,los espacios, ubicación, mobiliario, sobriedad y una calidez en cada rincón. Bellísima desde que vez su exterior.
Gracias por vernos!!
You know, now that I think about it. So much of the Mexican aesthetic (the starchy pastel walls, wooden portón and its latches) are all quite monolithic. It isn't until you bypass the giant wooden door, you discover an entire world behind those monolitihc pastel walls. It's actually quite beautiful. I've observed so many spaces in Mexico like this.
Exquisitamente perfecta
Y vienen más..! Gracias por vernos.
Wow. Just stunning on so many levels. Love it!!
Glad you enjoyed!
I THINK, THAT MIGHT BE THE
COOLEST & COZIEST HOME
I'VE EVER SEEN ! ALSO THE
NARRATION AND CINAMATIC
SHOTS W/ THE TRANQUIL
MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND
WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
IN COMPLETING THE EFFECT.
I WISH I COULD LIVE THERE !
Thank you for your words. Glad you liked it and hope you stay with us in the future. More content on the way!
i LOVE hyper minimalistic houses but this house has the right balance of everything i’ve ever dreamed of, it’s absolutely PERFECT. one day i’ll build a home like this 😌
Thanks for watching Lord
I love the house because it blends with nature around so beautifully. It is lovely i have no words
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Bonito , estillo minimal . Felicidades
Beautiful house …looks so peaceful I could imagine awakening every morning here just amazing
Thanks for watching!
gigantisch gut❤ Das würde ich so zu 100% übernehmen. Kein unnötiges Zeug, sondern pur und elegant!👍
Thanks for watching!
Great architecture and stunning production.
Thanks for sharing.
WOW! Stunning home. Perfect place to live in purity and with intention. Bravo!
Thanks for your words
Gloriously beautiful and soul quenchingly serene. So envious
we are pleased that the audiovisual piece conveyed so much to you. Thank you for watching and commenting. Regarts.
Nice incorporation of FLW’s concept of space with the door size.
This house reminds me so much of the traditional architecture of Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
Only One word : Wonderful !
Brutal, me hizo sentir algo que nunca había sentido en una construcción de esta magnitud, este estilo es para alguien quien ya está realizado ya no busca nada.
Absolutely beautiful.
Esta casa 🏠 Transmite Paz ❤
Mucha! :)
Amazing , just mind boggling .. this is what I have always wanted to see .. seen this video several times .. and the narration is so spot on and authentic ..
We’re very happy that you like it! We really are!
Absolutely beautiful. Perfect harmony, light and shadow. Thanks for explaining how it came to be.
Glad you liked it!
Increíble arquitectura, parece un sueño
Que bueno que te gusto Cesar, viene mas contenido en camino!
Increible casa
Шикарно!
This is about the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen. A total work of art. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Really feels like a compound, which is pretty cool - the hard sunlight with those squared edges give an almost 3D-model like feel. Almost like most of the house is composed of unfinished textures from a video game/cad software, with the wooden doors, furnishings and cobblestone being the only objects with any detail.
I can also imagine how nice and cool it is in that concrete box compared to the outside!
Thank you for sharing your observations and insights about the design! The house is definitely a cool refuge!!!
That’s a gorgeous home, my wife and I are planning to retire in SMA in the near future. I’m going to be looking for land to build something similar to this, outside the city with plenty of land and space to relax and enjoy nature with our dogs.
Sound like a good plan!! Thanks for sharing and… Go Rams!
As beautifully presented with video, music & heartfelt narration as the home is designed, built, furnished & landscaped from the heart. Well done x2.
Thanks for you kind words
Wow🎉 lo mejor que he visto, casa tranquila 👌🏽
gracias por comentar. ¡Muchos saludos! 😊
Me dejó sin aliento y feliz
Que alegría leer esto.
