Casa Zibu, designed by Di Frenna Arquitectos, is a secluded retreat in Mexico that offers an immersive experience through a sequence of courtyards.

The project features four courtyards, abundant vegetation, and a retractable louver system that allows residents to control their level of connection with the surrounding environment. The ground floor houses communal areas, while the upper floor accommodates private domains, with stone staircases leading visitors through the various zones.
