About
After seven months of restoration, and a hard management for its purchase, the House of Juan O'Gorman projected in 1929 will reopen its doors in 2016. Located in front of the former Hacienda de Goicochea (today San Ángel Inn restaurant) was built in what was the tennis courts of the estate, lands acquired by Juan O'Gorman with the payment of fees for his collaborations with Carlos Obregón Santacilia. Completed in 1929, it is considered as 'the first functionalist home' in Mexico, in whichintentionally simplifies the naked use of concrete slabs and makes the slenderness of the posts look, evoking the "Maisons domino" of Le Corbusier (1914).
