Casa Orgánica · Javier Senosiain

· Museum/gallery · Naucalpan

THE TAKE

Javier Senosiain's own home, a peanut-shaped burrow under a hill of living grass, now open as a pilgrimage for anyone who thinks a house should be grown, not built.

WHY IT’S WORTH IT

1A founding monument of Mexican organic architecture, built by Senosiain for himself in 1984 and lived in ever since

2There is nothing else like it to walk through: ferrocement curves, no straight lines, a slide from the bedroom to the garden, the whole structure buried under earth and grass

3Open to the public by reservation since 2020, so the icon is finally a place you can actually visit, not just a photo in an architecture book
