Living In Mexico

South of the U.S. border, intense colors and rich fabrics shape a unique aesthetic that is the result of the fusion of Aztec and Mayan cultures with Spanish heritage. Intense hues and vivid patterns combine in simple, rustic spaces, creating stimulating and welcoming spaces in the most authentic Mexican style. Barbara and Rene Stoeltie, a dynamic couple, she a writer and he a photographer, have hit the nail on the head again, this time with a truly extraordinary look at Mexico's most outstanding homes. A photographic journey across the country, from Costa Careyes to the Yucatan Peninsula, that will surprise, delight and inspire. From the residence of Constructivist architect Luis Barragn, a restored 16th-century hacienda, to a traditional thatched-roof Mayan dwelling, the contrast of styles in the pages of this book is a testament to the country's diverse and vibrant palette of colors and textures. With many new images, some of them never before seen, prepare to travel to the heart of exuberant and eclectic Mexico.
