Stunning Mexican Home Has Brick, Wood and Plenty of Open Space

We all love the idea of a weekend house that takes us away from constant rush that surrounds us. That is exactly what you get with the beautiful and spacious Casa Linda Vista in Mexico that sits on the edge of Lake Chapala. This smart and stylish vacation home combines vernacular architectural principles with locally sourced materials and fabulous use of wood to create an escape unlike any. Designed by 3Arquitectura, the structure creates a cool indoor-outdoor interplay where the pool area, deck and the exterior become the central social zone.
