/Write to us
Casa Rodal is an intimate refuge in the heart of Polanco, where urban life meets the serenity of thoughtful architecture. Nestled between vibrant streets and tree-lined parks, this residential ensemble proposes a new way of inhabiting the city: more conscious, quieter, more connected to what is essential.
Designed by Héctor Barroso, with interiors by Estudio Alta Habitat, each of its three residences has been conceived as a unique piece, where light, material, and space intertwine naturally. Interior gardens, open terraces, and walls with warm textures create an atmosphere of shelter that allows one to breathe—even in the midst of the city’s pace.
Casa Rodal does not seek to impose itself on its surroundings but to integrate with them. Its measured proportions, noble materials, and spatial clarity engage in dialogue with the neighborhood’s architecture and the vegetation that envelops it.
Here, luxury is expressed in pause: in the light that enters at the precise hour, in the silence that allows presence, in the spaces designed for intentional living. More than a residence, Casa Rodal is an invitation to inhabit the city with serene elegance and full presence.
Taller Héctor Barroso is a Mexico City–based architecture studio, recognized for a practice that blends aesthetic sensitivity, respect for the environment, and a profound understanding of material. Its architecture emerges from an intimate relationship with place—its geography, its light, its climate—to shape spaces that feel both rooted and timeless.
The studio has developed residential, cultural, and tourism projects in both urban and natural contexts, always guided by a pursuit of essentiality. Through honest materials, precise proportions, and a contained atmosphere, its works invite silence, reflective dwelling, and connection with the immediate.
At Taller Héctor Barroso, architecture does not impose itself—it allows itself to be discovered. Each wall, each shadow, each texture is conceived to dialogue with what already exists. This vision translates into deeply coherent projects, where form, function, and emotion intertwine with elegance and sobriety.
Polanco reveals itself in the details: a morning among cafés, the light on its sidewalks, the murmur of jacarandas. Its elegance does not impose—it accompanies; weaving together history, design, and daily life.
What attracts us is its balance between the urban and the intimate: museums and bakeries, vibrant avenues and quiet parks. It changes without losing its essence, where the modern converses with the classic
What inspires us most is how it inhabits the city: with sophistication and calm, openness and character. That harmony can be felt in its architecture, in its terraces full of life, in the serene way of walking through it.
