Mexico's Concrete Zen Retreat with a Japanese Vibe
Share
Just spotted a place in Mexico that's seriously channeling some minimalist zen. Who knew concrete could feel so incredibly serene?
This 'Casa Tao' is a masterclass in making a brutalist material feel warm and inviting, purely through smart design. The way they've carved out these calm courtyards, using restrained geometries, instantly reminded me of the serene, introspective spaces you find in traditional Japanese homes and gardens. It's not trying to *be* Japanese, but you can totally feel that underlying philosophy of creating a peaceful refuge from the world, a cool, quiet spot to just... exist. It’s like a quiet whisper of Japan in a sunny Mexican setting, and honestly, it’s pretty genius.
