CASA NUBE

Renowned architect Héctor Barroso, founder of Taller Héctor Barroso in Mexico City since 2011, creates spaces deeply connected to nature and their local environment. His designs emphasize the thoughtful use of local materials, natural light, and shadows to forge meaningful connections between inhabitants and their surroundings. Barroso’s architecture weaves together memory, emotion, and habitat, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces to craft environments that feel both intimate and harmonious with the site. 

Driven by a reflective and collaborative creative process, Héctor approaches architecture as both a personal journey and a collective act. He values ongoing research and dialogue—often working closely with local craftspeople—to explore materials and building techniques rooted in tradition. Rather than focusing on formal repetition, his work consistently seeks to transfer the warmth and sensory qualities of single-family homes—gardens, courtyards, and natural textures—into medium-scale collective housing, enhancing the lived experience on every level. 

Barroso’s architecture goes beyond building structures—it aims to enrich communities by creating spaces that support personal well-being and encourage a sense of inclusion and togetherness.
