House of Prisms: A José Creixell Masterpiece Inspired by the Legacy of Luis Barragán
"Architecture is an art form intended to move the soul; an untiring quest for serenity."


Situated within the exclusive enclave of Los Apantles, Sumiya, this residence is a rare
collector’s piece designed by the esteemed architect José Creixell. A profound tribute to the
"Emotional Architecture" of Pritzker Prize winner Luis Barragán, the property stands as a
definitive manifesto of modern Mexican design. Here, clean geometric volumes and a masterful
use of light and colour converge to create a sanctuary of absolute stillness.
Geometry and Light Upon entering the House of Prisms, one is met by a sophisticated
interplay of structures that capture the unique light of Morelos, turning it into a dynamic element
that shifts throughout the day. Shadows are cast upon the walls with poetic intent, defining vast
spaces and double-height ceilings that inspire both reflection and a sense of boundless
freedom.
The Sanctuary and the Garden The residence has been masterfully crafted to disappear into
its surroundings. The living areas flow seamlessly into a mature, landscaped garden, ensuring
that nature remains the primary focus of every room. Conceived as "cells of peace" the
bedrooms offer profound quietude and an intimate connection to the landscape. House of
Prisms is more than just a home; it is an architectural legacy for those who recognise that true
luxury is the privilege of living within a work of art.
