In the foothills of Mexico’s Sierra Madre range, Casa Cicerón rises like a magical bespoke creation of its owners, Mauricio Lobeira and Mauricio de la Garza two designers with flawless taste. Their home is a reflection of their shared vision, with every detail embodying their passion for design, nature, and family life.
Mauricio Lobeira is a founding partner of Treceavo Plano/Ten Plus Three, an architectural firm based in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico, and Dallas, in the United States. His work has long been characterized by a timeless and abstract approach. After a long search, he found the place where he wanted to create his dream home, for both himself and his family, in a location surrounded by nature. “At first glance, the lot appears oddly shaped—it has a sloping, irregular area that runs parallel to a stream from a neighbouring park. As an architect, it was the perfect challenge. Since I would be the resident of the home I was designing, I had complete creative freedom to embrace that challenge, do what I wanted, and make a unique home,” Lobeira shares. The architect entrusted his partner, landscape designer Mauricio de la Garza, to give the home its green setting. Lobeira says of de la Garza, a founding partner at the studio Dornato, “He has been my greatest accomplice in this project. When he saw the site, he was as enthusiastic as I was, with a shared excitement that one day we would live there together,” Lobeira recalls.
