| Summary: | Based in Mexico City, Jorge Loyzaga's multidisciplinary practice has focused on the preservation of traditions within architecture, interiors, furniture and the decorative arts since its founding in 1969. Informed by a passion for classic design, heritage and timeless craftsmanship, as well as Loyzaga's training in the restoration of historical monuments, the firm's sophisticated perspective of architecture and interiors translate time-honored style and local traditions into a contemporary, international visual language. This volume presents over twenty houses and estates among Loyzaga's finest projects. With classical models serving as inspiration, ranging from Spanish Baroque cathedrals to Beaux-Arts boulevards and 18th-century French châteaux, the featured buildings and interiors display Loyzaga's one-of-a-kind mix of pre-Hispanic, Spanish and other European elements. Unpublished photographs showcase striking designs of both interiors and exteriors enlivened by Loyzaga's signature style, defined by vibrant, luxurious touches and a detailed approach to historic influences. From a Tuscan-style villa with ornate Italian décor to a Mexican Colonial abode and a private home that evokes a Parisian hotel particulier, this volume offers endless inspiration for the modern interiors enthusiast. |
