Casa JuliAna

Casa JuliAna is a real estate project that transforms a family home into a guest house and a restaurant. The house was built in the 1950s and belonged to Julio César Margain and Ana María Garciadiego, who were a physicist and a philosopher, respectively. They had two children, Analuz and Jorge, and four granddaughters. The house was full of books, pets, and classical music. It also hosted a traditional Christmas almond candy production for seven years. Julio César and Ana María passed away in 2021, leaving their legacy to their descendants.


The goal of the project is to create a multigenerational asset for the Margain family and to preserve the original architecture, design, and personality of the house. The ground floor is leased by a joint venture between Arca Tierra, Silo and Grupo Tuetano who will open a farm-to-table restaurant (Baldío) that will share the values of authenticity, local flavor, sustainability, and Mexican culture. The first and second floors have six short term rental units, some of which were the original bedrooms of the family. The rooftop features a

small outdoor living room with a view of the Reforma skyline and solar panels to reduce the carbon footprint.


The renovation started in March and concluded in October of 2023 and complies with the zoning rules of the Mexico City government, which promotes the active lifestyle of the neighborhoods and the strengthening of the local communities. Casa JuliAna is more than a real estate project; it is a tribute to a family’s history and a vision for a better future.
