Latin American Architects Who Designed Their Own Houses

Subscriber Access

Is it possible for a structure to reflect the thoughts of an architect? In the area of architecture, it's a well-known fact that the design process is largely shaped by the client, their culture, their requirements, and their budget, with little attention given to the personal tastes of the architects themselves.  

If there is a time when an architect can work without limits, it's during a self-commissioned project. When architects design for themselves, or, in other words, are their own clients, they get the opportunity to their discipline with no restrictions, producing works that reflect everything they believe about light, space, and everything in between.
