We are eager to welcome each of you, our dear friends and family, to Mexico City, and celebrate your arrival. We recognize the effort many of you have made, traveling from places like New York, Texas, Florida, and California, and we wish to express our deep gratitude by opening the week at the extraordinary Casa Pedregal and Tetetlán, located in the lush Jardines del Pedregal district.

Designed in 1948 by the celebrated Mexican architect Luis Barragán, Casa Pedregal is one of his most iconic residences—an expansive home that fuses modernist vision with Mexico’s volcanic landscape. Every surface and garden reflects Barragán’s gift for blending architecture with nature, where color, stone, and water transform into living poetry. Attached to the house is Tetetlán, a cultural space carved directly into the lava rock, now home to a café, library, and gallery that extend the spirit of the site into a place of gathering and exchange.

It is the perfect backdrop for our welcome reception—grand yet deeply rooted in history and landscape, an embodiment of beauty and cultural richness that mirrors the essence of our celebration.

The evening will commence at 5:00pm, and we’ll be capturing the moment through photography, so we invite you to embrace our theme: White Lotus, Black Excellence, with tailored sophistication, or classic, exotic affluence. Join us for drinks, food, and a chance to connect as we set the tone for the week ahead.
