This is Casa Pedregal, a house built by Luis Barragán in 1947. It was purchased by Cesar Cervantes in 2014 who restored the colours to the exact palette used by Barragán. Built in Pedregal the house incorporates the volcanic rock that invaded the landscape there due to an eruption in the year 100. Just last night I watched the Mexican film Hilda which is set in this house. . . . . . . . . . #mexico #mexicocity #barragan #luisbarragan #architecture #mexicodesign #deseño #arcitectura #pedregal #volcanicrock #40sdesign #pink #visitmexico #mexicocitylive #mexico_greatshots #mexico_maravilloso #artemexicano #mexicanart #cdmx #mexicodf #mexicosorprendente

I got the pleasure of dining at Tetetlán, a new restaurant in the Pedregal neighbourhood of Mexico City. Many of their ingredients are sourced from the chinampas of Xochimilco and their corn is from Oaxaca. In the second photo you will find the dish I found most fascinating, corn smut (huitlacoche) still on the corn cob (mazorca). I’m normally not a huitlacoche fan but I loved this dish! Within the space, that was once stables design by Luis Barragán, there is an artist retreat, a book library, a music library, and a cafe. It’s a really special place. . . . . . . . . . . . #mexico #mexicocity #mexicodf #cdmx #pedregal #barragan #tetetlan #restaurant #mexicanfood #comidamexicana #locallysourced #mexicosorprendente #mexico_tour #eatmexican #luisbarragan #visitmexico #travel #travelwriter #freelance #cdmxsur
