Jorge Gracia's House in Tijuana, Mexico

A couple of weeks ago, before I left on a business trip for Mexico, I made a quick post about a couple of cool, modern homes south of the border. One of the houses was the one Mexican architect Jorge Gracia built for his own family. I was very happy tonight to see that house on an episode of HGTV's show What's With That House (episode HWTH-304). The shows gives a good bit of it's half hour air time to the Gracia house. You get a great look at the sleek abode, and the architect comes off as a really nice guy. Definitely try to catch this episode. Or just go to Jorge Gracia's website for lots of great images. Be sure and take a good look at Gracia's other projects. You'll be impressed. This guy has the stuff.




By the way, I love Mexico. I have a great time whenever I'm there. The country is beautiful and the people are great. My trips aren't to resort towns either. I go to a factory town. It's a different Mexico than what tourists see, but it's the real Mexico, and I enjoy it immensely. I can't wait to go back again.

I'm going to make a real effort to find more of the cool modern residential architecture happening in Mexico. I think there are some real gems to be found there.
