Mario López Arquitectura: One-of-a-kind the world over in concept and construction engineering, Casa Nómada speaks of the peace, privacy, and privilege of place, located in the center of San Miguel’s most prestigious country-side development, Candelaria, just five minutes outside San Miguel de Allende. Casa Nomada’s design ensures that incredible vistas and direct connection to nature are its lasting heritage.

The home’s entrance facing East only hints of the scale of the living space to come. White rocks from Mineral de Pozos become orange at dawn as the sun rises over the Picacho Mountains in an unimpeded view toward the sunrise. The landscape leading to the house contains the best specimens of the region in creative xeriscapes.

It’s upon stepping into the home’s foyer and looking toward the two-story windows facing West that one understands what is meant by the desired creation of a dialogue between nature and house…where the interior and the exterior become one… where sunlight and landscape become the backdrop for living in this most luxurious house and serene space designed by award-winning architect Mario Lopez.
