South of the border, rich colors and woven textiles form a unique design
aesthetic, crafted by the union of local Aztec and Mayan cultures and
Spanish influences. Bold pigments and vivid patterns come together in
simple and rustic spaces, resulting in a way of living that is both
invigorating and homely; an authentic Mexican style.
The dynamic writer and photographer duo Barbara and René Stoeltie have
struck gold again--this time with a truly breathtaking look at Mexico's
most remarkable abodes. Traveling far and wide, from Costa Careyes to
the Yucatán Peninsula, this photographic journey will surprise, delight,
and inspire you.
From the home of Constructivist architect Luis Barragán, a restored
16th-century hacienda, to a traditional Mayan thatched-roof dwelling,
the contrast of styles within the pages of this book are testament to
the country's vibrantly diverse palette of textures and hues. With many
new images, some never published before, prepare to be transported to
the heart of lush and eclectic Mexico.
