Jardines del Pedregal

Jardines del Pedregal is a residential neighborhood spread across roughly 510 hectares of ancient lava fields and natural rock formations. The area contains spacious properties that integrate the fractured stone landscape into their design.

The area formed from volcanic activity of Xitle around 5000 years ago and was later developed into a residential complex by architect Luis Barragán in the 1940s. This architectural development was part of a modern vision that harmonized natural elements with residential space.

The name refers to the rocky ground that shapes the area, and residents incorporate gardens to weave the natural surroundings into their homes. This relationship between stone and vegetation is visible throughout daily life in the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is located in southern Mexico City and includes schools such as Colegio Peterson and Liceo Mexicano Japonés, making it attractive for families. Multiple transportation options connect it to the broader city.

Every home in the neighborhood weaves volcanic rock into its architecture, creating a distinctive design found nowhere else. This consistent use of local stone marks the entire area.
