Casa LC is a 2,000 sq m home located in Mexico City, Mexico, which was designed by Art Arquitectos. Viewed from the outside, the constructions seems to follow traditional lines, but as you step inside you’ll discover a space that mixes old with new in order to create a unique and innovative dwelling.
The social area surrounds the grand central circular patio which includes a water mirror with irregular islets and central stream, while the private area is created by a square patio emphasized by an orange tree that floats in the middle of the islets inside of a water mirror. The entertainment area is very diverse, including a swimming track, a gaming room, a home theatre, a gym, a bathroom and a small guest house. These are the three different areas of the house which are connected through hallways to a semi private area that features a TV room and the breakfast room.
The amenities also include the grand garden with a barbeque-chalet, a pond with cascade and a jogging track, a semi-covered garage for 8 cars and also 4 sculptures placed in the main ends of the house that represent Earth, Fire, Water and Wind, created by the artist Carlos Marín.
Ah, a house with a floating orange tree—because nothing says “relaxing home” like defying gravity and common sense all at once. Who needs practicality when you have art, right?
Absolutely! Sometimes, art challenges practicality to create a unique, inspiring space that sparks imagination and joy. The floating orange tree is a playful touch that transforms the home into a living work of art.
