What makes this San Miguel Allende home special?
San Miguel de Allende is celebrated for its arts and culinary scenes and the neo-Gothic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel above the central plaza. The hills of Ojo de Agua also host contemporary residences, and Cajas de Luz is among the most striking.
Greenery wraps living spaces with vibrant color against a muted palette. In rooms such as the office and primary bathroom, water features and pools flow through the interiors, adding a sense of calm.
How does the design blur indoor and outdoor living?
Cervantes collaborated with landscape designer Hugo Sánchez and interior firm Habitacion116. The open-air plan deliberately erases the boundary between inside and outside.
Borneo ironwood—valued for resistance to termites, rot, and fungi—warms the home from a living room with a floating fireplace to a kitchen with soaring ceilings and open shelving. Roughly 90 percent of that wood is reclaimed.
The primary suite includes a large dressing room and a private terrace overlooking the city. A partially sheltered heated pool extends between two cubic volumes and hangs over the landscape. A separate guest house rounds out the grounds.
