Casa Co by JDEstudio and Aagnes

In Guadalajara, JDEstudio and Aagnes bring together their shared ethos of craft, sensitivity to material, and contemplative living in the making of Casa CO, a home conceived as a dialogue between light, matter, and time.

Known respectively for architecture and interior design rooted in precision and detail, the collaboration creates an environment that invites reflection as much as habitation.

Set within a verdant garden, the house is attuned to the course of the sun. Morning light falls across travertine surfaces, while vegetation softens each approach and the pool mirrors the sky in stillness. As the day unfolds, terraces dissolve into the garden and shadows trace across dark shou sugi ban walls, playing against the warmth of noble woods. Traditional Mexican artworks intermingle with contemporary pieces, forming a dialogue between past and present that grounds the home in cultural continuity.

The architecture by JDEstudio is defined by natural materials layered with precision and restraint. Travertine, tundra grey marble, and timber recur throughout, creating a unified palette that mediates the changing qualities of light. These surfaces speak not as ornament, but as elemental presences, distinct yet harmonious, evoking a contemplative stillness.

Within this framework, Aagnes shapes interiors that balance luminosity, silence, and intimacy. A double-height living area of glass and steel dissolves the threshold between interior and landscape, creating a pause between brightness and shade. Family spaces move toward softer tones, where sandy textiles and filtered light suggest quiet retreat. In the bedrooms, the fading sun becomes part of the architecture itself, filtering through curtains and painting walls with shadow, marking a transition into rest.

Furniture and objects are conceived as integral to the whole. Custom designs align with curated art, allowing local craft and contemporary expression to coexist seamlessly. Each element carries intention, contributing not only to visual harmony but to an emotional register that anchors the home.

Casa CO embodies the collaboration between JDEstudio and Aagnes, where architecture and interiors converge into a crafted setting defined by balance, groundedness, and calm. Light, matter, and time shape both form and atmosphere, creating a home for contemplation as much as for living.
