INSPIRATION
Architect Javier Senosiain at his house Casa Organica shot for Airbnb in Mexico City by Pia Riverola
Organic shapes and curves that follow the natural rhythm of a man’s movement is the best way to describe Casa Orgánica by Javier Senosiain, the psychedelic house in Mexico City that’s all over your instagram. But, what is the story behind this space and his architect?
The purpose of this iconic home was to look for spaces similar to the maternal cloister, to the shelter of the animals, to the man who at first adopted the caverns without modifying his environment; continuous, wide, integral spaces, liberating lights that facilitate circulation.
The formal proposal of the house is based on the requirements of the elementary functions of human beings: a place to live together, with a living room, dining room and kitchen, and another to sleep, with a dressing room and bathroom. The floor and walls are covered by a sand-like color to achieve monochromatic continuity. The interior of the dwelling is accessed by going down the spiral that leads to the tunnel; It was intended to give the sensation of entering the earth, from there to the living, eating and cooking space or, to the furthest away, which is the sleeping area.
Javier Senosian, the architect, has combined teaching with professional practice and research. He graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1972, since then he has taught the Design Workshop and Architecture Theory. For a time, he held the position of Academic Secretary in said Faculty.
In his professional activity he has developed projects and constructions of office buildings, residential houses, industrial plants and buildings for tourist activities. Likewise, he has dedicated a large part of his professional life to researching and experimenting with man's habitable space in its relationship with nature.
