Escape to the serenity of Michoacán, Mexico with a visit to the enchanting Casa Zirahuén. Nestled in the verdant hills overlooking the glistening Zirahuén Lake, this idyllic holiday house is a modern marvel. Conceived by renowned designer Daniela Bucio Sistos in 2019, Casa Zirahuén is a testament to the innovative fusion of traditional and contemporary design aesthetics.

Resurrecting and reinterpreting the quintessential Mexican cabin, this brick-style masterpiece melds vernacular construction techniques with modern sensibilities. Its walls sport a unique coating of ‘charanda’ and ‘topure’, locally sourced clay soils that add an authentic touch. Inspired by the stone fences of local towns, the masonry of Casa Zirahuén is a sight to behold.

Featuring four distinct cabins, each with its own charm, the property offers a fluid blend of private and social spaces. From a copper kitchen crafted by artisans from nearby Santa Clara del Cobre, to a gym with a jacuzzi overlooking the lake, Casa Zirahuén is a symbol of luxury wrapped in tradition.
