Casa San Angel is an architectural piece that harmoniously blends the modernist aesthetics of the 20th century with contemporary and minimalist elements. Located in San Ángel, this house underwent a significant transformation through a meticulously managed remodeling process to preserve the original intentions of the renowned architect Manuel Parra, whose work was in deteriorated condition.

The intervention in the existing structure was carried out with almost archaeological delicacy, respecting the essence of the original design while adapting the spaces to the needs of its new users.

One of the fundamental premises of the project was the creation of a fluid relationship between the various volumes of the house and its exterior. 50% of the area was allocated to open spaces, thus fostering a dialogue between the building and its garden. Strategically placed windows provide continuous views that seamlessly integrate nature into the interior.

The new structure, designed as a contemporary extension, is characterized by the use of light and warm materials that contrast with the solidity of the original construction. With an emphasis on functionality and efficiency, the expansion focused mainly on the kitchen, which became the heart of the house, an open space that invites interaction and facilitates daily activities. Additionally, the remodeling included interventions in key areas such as the master bedroom, the family room, and the stairs.

Although the owners set a tight schedule, the design and construction of Casa Galeana were completed in just six weeks, thanks to a multidisciplinary team committed to excellence and attention to detail. The result is a residence that preserves the architectural history of Manuel Parra while incorporating contemporary elements and spaces.
