Summary:"Based in Mexico City, Jorge Loyzaga's multidisciplinary practice has focused on the preservation of traditions within architecture, interiors, furniture, and the decorative arts since its founding in 1969. Informed by a passion for classic design, heritage, and timeless craftsmanship, as well as Loyzaga's training in the restoration of historical monuments, the firm's sophisticated perspective of architecture and interiors translate time-honored style and local traditions into a contemporary, international visual language. This volume presents over 20 houses and estates among Loyzaga's finest projects. With classical models serving as inspiration-ranging from Spanish Baroque cathedrals to Beaux-Arts boulevards and 18th-century French châteaux-the featured buildings and interiors display Loyzaga's one-of-a-kind mix of pre-Hispanic, Spanish, and other European elements. Unpublished photographs showcase striking designs of both interiors and exteriors enlivened by Loyzaga's signature style, defined by vibrant, luxurious touches and a detailed approach to historic influences. From a Tuscan-style villa with ornate Italian décor to a Mexican Colonial abode and a private home that evokes a Parisian hotel particulier, this volume offers endless inspiration for the modern interiors enthusiast"--
