While visiting Mexico earlier this year I had the privilege of checking out the famed Casa Organica by world renowned Mexican architect Javier Senosiain. I woke up one day to a text by friend saying they somehow managed to get us a tour of the property, keep in mind they were closed to visitors since the pandemic and their visitation hours had been super hard to get. Having known this I didn’t hesitate to pay the cover for the tour ($150 for 6 People) and drive several miles outside of Mexico City to this architectural wonder. As soon as you touch the grounds you feel transported into another world, its as if you walked through the closet into a Mexican Narnia, you expect to see mythical beings traverse the property as you see the shape of the edifice and lands shaped like something you’ve never seen before. I wont go into too much details here and let the images speak for how amazing this place is!
