Casa Píldora
DESCRIPTION
Casa Píldora is a true unicorn on the market:
A seminal, experimental project by architect Roberto Eibenschutz, conceived in 1965 and
preserved almost intact over time as an organic, curvilinear, and psychedelic-futurist
manifesto. It is filled with levels, ledges, shelves, skylights, walls, and stained-glass windows
in vivid colors. Even the woodwork was custom-designed to fit the spaces, seamlessly
integrated into the curving walls. The array of atmospheres and distinctive, curving recesses
evokes rapturous admiration amid infinite, unusual niches.
A standout feature—and a rarity for the area—is the 117-square-meter garden. Filled with
native trees and plants. It includes a barbecue area, ambient string lighting, and a fire pit. It
also boasts independent access from the street behind the property, making it ideal for
maintaining house privacy during gatherings with friends or family, or even for hosting a small
bakery-café area.
Casa Píldora is an exquisite rarity, ideal as a CEO’s home, artist’s residence, creative studio,
or architect’s office—or even suited for a low-impact business venture such as a showroom,
café, or bookstore. It is situated along the most important commercial corridor in the lower
Lomas Virreyes–Molino del Rey area (Lomas de Chapultepec), just 200 meters from the
prestigious, LEED Platinum-certified Torre Virreyes office complex and 250 meters from
Chapultepec Park (the largest in Latin America and three times bigger than Central Park in
New York), while bordering the famous and highly sought-after Polanco district. All of this is
complemented by a surrounding array of shops, restaurants, and supermarkets.
With its unique architecture, garden, and prime location, Casa Píldora is undoubtedly the most
attractive investment in the area for anyone looking to turn this residence into a city landmark
and a personal icon.
