With its curved walls and grass-draped exteriors, Casa Orgánica is a mesmerising piece of architecture well worth a visit.
Along a quiet street in the Naucalpan de Juárez neighbourhood on the outskirts of Mexico City, a thick patch of ivy surrounds an oval metal door unlike any other in the area. Framed by a minty green wall, it’s patterned with what appears like snakeskin, with bulbous knots protruding from the surface. Lifting a cold metal ring to open the door, I step into the cavernous foyer of. I take my shoes off as instructed. The floors, blanketed in fluffy white carpeting, are soft on my feet.
Designed and completed by the Mexican architect Javier Senosiain in 1984, Casa Orgánica opened to the public for the first time ever in late 2020. Prior to accepting visitors, the home was Senosiain’s family’s private residence and just one of the architect’s projects in the Naucalpan de Juárez area.
When I reach the bottom of the tunnel, the layout opens into an expansive living room marked by a curved white leather sofa, a hanging rattan swing seat, and an original gold leaf chair by Pedro Friedeberg, a surrealist artist who once studied under the famed German-born, Mexico-based modernist painter and sculptor Mathias Goeritz.
