A concrete gallery studio in Mexico designed by local interior design studio Arcadio Marin. It features a huge concrete colonnade that surrounds the pool. The project, Plantel Matilde, draws on the sculptures of studio founder Javier Marin to explore the creative process and the construction and deconstruction of three-dimensional forms. The studio said: "the building is completely in line with the core principles of his art. All of these aesthetics turn architecture into a constantly changing, livable sculpture."

Chunky concrete columns run along two walls around the square-plan open exhibition space, while the other two walls have narrow windows. A lower level, concealed from view, houses the resident artist's bedrooms.The walls of windows and open corridors offer 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape, treetops and sky during the day and night.

In the centre, a pool filled with tiny plants and stone paths that cut across leading to a gravel patio occupied by a large tree. Water from the pool flows beneath the ground level and fills a waterway that wraps around its perimeter.Marín's abstract sculptural works, which made from cast bronze and fronted with human faces, are positioned along the open arcades.

Inside the closed corridors are several decorative tables and artist work stools. A group of large chandeliers formed by varying-sized circles and tiny candles hang from the ceiling.Narrow windows that extend the length of the hallway are covered with two sets of wooden shutters.Plantel Matilde is built with materials and finishes that are intended to require little upkeep and have minimal environmental impact. For example, small bedroom windows are placed at the same level as the waterway to bring cool air into the structure.
