This House Hides the View — Until the Perfect Moment

Casa Macana is not a house you simply enter.

It is a house you move through.

Built in Morelos, Mexico, this project transforms arrival into experience. Instead of revealing the landscape immediately, the architecture holds it back — guiding you through walls, shadows, and passages until the view suddenly appears, framed like a scene.

Organized in an L-shape and deeply rooted in the color and material of the land, the house turns the Tepozteco mountains into the true center of daily life.

This is not a house about form.
It is a house about timing, perception, and silence.

A home that doesn’t decorate the landscape.
It makes it the destination.

Architects: Taller Carlos Marín
Area: 700 m²
Year: 2025
Photography: Onnis Luque

  • Asbury Ocean Club Hotel

    Asbury Park is known for a lot of things—Springsteen, the boardwalk, its wide, sandy beach—but not for high-end luxury accommodations. Enter the Asbury Ocean Club Hotel, a five-star boutique property that opened quietly this summer just steps from the sand, instantly upping the sophistication quotient of this iconic Jersey Shore town only 55 miles from New York. Developed by iStar and managed by Salt Hotels, the 54-key Ocean Club is part of a complex that includes 130 residential condominiums, a business center, and an array of soon-to-come retailers. Designed by Handel Architects, it spans an entire beachfront block. The project’s creative director and head of overall design is Anda Andrei, best known for her work at the Hudson, 11 Howard, and Gramercy Park hotels in New York. She also collaborated with iStar on the Ocean Club’s sister property, the Asbury Hotel, which opened in 2016 and is located just one block inland.

  • Studio Bluecerigo

    STUDIO BLUECERIGO This new photographic agency wants to be a place of diffusio
    and creation as well as a place of life in its own right. For the
    sake of integrating daily rituals of guarding into complex
    working hours, a large part of the space is dedicated to the
    children of promoters and collaborators. The original space has been completely restructured to create
    an open and versatile place. The addition of shutters to the
    openings allows to modulate the natural light, inherent to the
    photographer’s work, according to a device that is both simple
    and aesthetic. The space is fragmented by the implantation of “place-
    objects” which reconfigure the full and the empty spaces to
    offer unusual visual breakthroughs compared to the relatively
    modest scale of the places.
