The 20 Most-Liked Homes on Our Instagram in 2023

Casa Mague by Mauricio Ceballos X Architects draws inspiration from the Aztec heritage of Malinalco, Mexico. "Piramide de Malinalco, one of only three carved pyramids in the world, is part of the town’s daily life," explains Mauricio Ceballos Pressler, the firm’s director and founder. "The inhabitants feel proud of their Aztec roots." To honor them—and in direct reference to the nearby pyramid—an exterior living area adjacent to the pool features a curved and stepped wood wall. To more broadly echo a Mesoamerican worldview, Pressler designed each room of the 2,906-square-foot home to feel as if it’s woven into the landscape. "Trees have ritual meaning," he explains. "The roots symbolize the connection to the underworld, the trunks symbolize the earthly human life, and the branches symbolize the connection with the Gods."
