Somewhere between the sacred and the profane, paradise takes on a rather particular shade of pink. Nestled within Summer Thornton's fantastical Casa Rosada, Las Vísperas Rosas celebrates the romance of Mexican craftsmanship and the pleasures of a life lived outdoors. Rose-colored walls, intricate tilework, and lush tropical foliage conjure a courtyard steeped in old-world ritual and unapologetic indulgence. An exercise in invention as much as decoration, the space transforms humble materials into something wonderfully extraordinary.

Developed during my tenure at Summer Thornton Design, I contributed to the courtyard's conceptual development and led the technical detailing of its intricate tile compositions. My approach involved reimagining traditional zellige through custom-cut geometric patterns, navigating the challenges of international sourcing, local craftsmanship, and remote construction coordination to help realize the design vision.
