# Modern Cubic Pavilions The Casa Bruma Consists of Nine Unique and Cohesive Units By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-04-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-burma References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/casa-bruma/) & [fernandacanales](https://fernandacanales.com/) Mexico City-based Fernanda Canales Architects created the [Casa Burma](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-ventura), a cohesive unit of [nine individual pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miel-pavilion) that weave in and out of the surrounding natural landscape. Situated on the beautiful outskirts of Mexico City, each structure wraps around existing trees that offer a different function -- connected by a series of hand-placed stone walkways. The [black concrete facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-pastizal) offer the exteriors a cohesive design, making each building look like one. The design team brought the dark hue from the outside into the interior with a white oak finish, creating a warm and comfortable contrast. Using large panels of glass for doors, each part of the Casa Burma opens completely up to the outdoors to create a floorplan that flows seamlessly outside.
