Nestled into the quiet middle of a block in the historic center of the beautiful colonial town of San Miguel de Allende, this 4,500 square foot courtyard home is accessed through lush gardens with trickling fountains and a luminous lap-pool. The living, dining, kitchen, library and master suite on the ground floor open onto a series of plant filled patios that flood each space with light that changes throughout the day. Elliptical domes and hewn wooden beams sculpt the ceilings, reflecting soft colors onto curving walls. A long, narrow stairway wrapped with windows and skylights is a serene connection to the second floor ''Moroccan' inspired suite with domed fireplace and hand-sculpted tub, and "French Country" inspired suite with a sunny balcony and oval shower. A curving bridge flies through the high living room with sparkling glass railings and overlooks onto sensuously shaped built in sofas. At the third floor windows wrap every space with balconies, light and views, linking indoors to the distant mountains, the morning sun and the bubbling jacuzzi. At the rooftop terrace domes and chimneys join the cozy seating for intimate gatherings.

House + House Architects In Mexico we typically use pigmented lime wash (cal) on walls, but in this case we used paint over stucco (cement plaster). The teal paint color was custom mixed.
You have: Brown hair; blue-green eyes.Try these colors: Rich sea green emphasizes the color of turquoise eyes and provides striking contrast for brown hair. This saturated hue is bold but highly livable, so don't be afraid to use it in a large area; try it as a wall color or in a rug.
A teal accent wall in your bedroom paired with spicy oranges and yellows creates an exotic vibe reminiscent of faraway places. Just be sure to keep the floor a light, neutral color and limit the artwork and accessories to a few key pieces, to prevent the space from feeling too busy and cluttered.
