This Amazing 'Wind House' Is Really All About Its Lighting

This home really lights up.

There's a truly breathtaking home in Tlajomulco, Jalisco, México. The four-room house, designed by Agraz Arquitectos is called "Casa del Viento" or "Wind House," a name inspired by the work of artist Adrian Guerrero and his pinwheel-style sculpture, "La Espiga del Viento." The house is located directly in view of the stunning Primavera Woods.

Even though the house is called the "Wind House," we can't help but think the house should be renamed as the "Lighting House" for its spectacular use of both natural and artificial lighting, which the company says was done with the help of a lighting specialist. Take a look at some of the bright ideas below.

1
The home's pure white exterior matches perfectly with a bright day.

Guerrero's "La Espiga del Viento" sculpture bounces light back into the clear blue sky.

Form meets function beautifully.

"The position of the windows was planned to take advantage of the natural environment," says Miguel Sánchez León, an architect with the company. "The big window was designed to also be a window to one of the best views of the Primavera Woods."

That is a pretty good view.

Low lighting fixtures below the railing make sure to emphasis the beautiful marble stairs that people might overlook.
12
These ceiling cutouts could be seen as artwork in itself.
13
The "shutters" in the top right of the entryway open and close for maximum exposure to natural light or maximum privacy.
14
Even the basketball hoop feels like it was strategically placed.
15
At night, the house is mind-blowing. Under-lights shine a spotlight on impeccable landscaping and makes the home look almost like a rocket taking flight.
