Residential In

For the first time, Cajas de Luz—one of the significant residential works of renowned Mexican architect Manuel Cervantes—is offered by its original owners. Known architecturally as Cajas en Penumbra and featured in El Croquis ed. 233, the residence pairs exceptional contemporary architecture with warmth, privacy and effortless living. Set on approximately 31,114 SF overlooking San Miguel de Allende, the property offers 11,582 SF of construction, including the principal residence, swimming pool and separate guest residence. Board-formed concrete, natural stone, steel, glass and reclaimed Borneo ironwood create a refined material palette, while skylights and courtyards fill the interiors with natural light. Mature gardens by Hugo Sánchez, water features and interiors by Hab116 further connect architecture and landscape. Architecturally significant yet deeply livable, Cajas de Luz is a rare expression of contemporary Mexican design.
