An artist on a perpetual world tour, Danh Vo never stayed anywhere for very long—until he planted roots in Mexico City. A look inside his historic home.
The facade of the house blends with the neighborhood, but the floating doorstep provides a clue to what lies beyond the threshold.

The design dialogue that runs through the house is evident in the sitting room, with its mix of furniture and objects.

A javelin in the entryway is, in fact, a sculpture by the artist Leonor Antunes.
