A Ginormous House Built for Entertaining by Art Arquitectos

Casa LC is a house located in Mexico City designed by Antonio Rueda of Art Arquitectos. The massive residence is 2,000 square meters, which equals approximately 21,527 square feet (see, I said massive), and covers three specific desires: to have a social area, private area, and an entertainment area. I’m pretty sure they had no problem getting all of these spaces under this particular roof.

The social areas are centered around a central circular patio that has glass doors that slide open to bring a bit of the outdoors in. Around this perimeter, there are various spaces like the living room and dining room, the library, and a bathroom.

There are perfect views to the lush green landscape through the living room and all the way to the circular patio, and vice versa.

The private area is set off of a square patio with a floating orange tree planted prominently in the center. Off of this space are four bedrooms and a master bedroom, all of which have an upper level space with terraces overlooking the square patio.
