BOOK A CALL

Most activities—from songwriting to recording, meditation, and overnight stay—occur within this creative complex, while you'll have opportunities to explore the surrounding neighborhood for some meals and during your free time, providing both a seamless creative experience and a taste of Mexico City's vibrant culture.

CITY

MEXICO

Today, this same building stands at the forefront of Mexico City's arts renaissance—hosting Salón ACME during Art Week, electronic music festivals, fashion events, and housing numerous creative workshops. Alberto Kalach's contemporary greenhouse on the roof creates a striking dialogue between historical and modern architecture, while the building's thoughtful restoration emphasizes what locals call "the poetics of ruin"—preserving layers of history rather than erasing them.

RENAISSANCE

ARTS

Your experience takes place primarily within Proyecto Público Prim, one of Mexico City's most spectacular venues where historical preservation meets contemporary artistic expression. This architectural gem in Colonia Juárez was built in 1905 by engineer Alberto Robles Gil during the Porfiriato era, featuring magnificent details like majestic staircases and generous courtyards that have witnessed over a century of Mexico's cultural evolution.
