polanco, mexico city

Casa Hegel is a project of extreme renovation of a Spanish neocolonial or “Californian” style typical house of the 1940s that abound in the neighborhoods of Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec in Mexico City.
The structural skeleton was preserved and the size of the kitchen enlarged. A second floor was built, several terraces, skylights and windows.  The rest of the lot was freed up for a generous hanging gardens, as well as a pond and bird pool.
