Summary

Casa Mavra is a 1,300-square-meter black concrete home in Valle de Bravo, Mexico, designed by Taller Alberto Calleja (TAC). The angular, low-lying structure features black-pigmented concrete volumes punctuated by small tree-filled patios that bring nature into the interior spaces. The design creates a 'strong and monolithic' appearance while maintaining a connection to the surrounding dense woodland through strategic openings and courtyards.
