Patio Furniture Cushions

Sandra F. Austin

What does your outdoor area provide for you? Perhaps it is a sanctuary from which you can watch the grass grow or watch the birds fly. On the other hand, it could well be your party and recreation area. Whatever it means to you, what you use to decorate your space can enhance your experience.

Together they make up Tezontle, a multidisciplinary practice named after the indigenous volcanic rock used for construction since the Aztec era. He means “layered” quite literally. The neighborhood in the city center—home to pre-Columbian restaurants, buildings of nearly every architectural style, and a dense network of hardware stores (“It’s like a big factory where we can source materials and get special things made”)—is actually built upon the ruins of Tenochtitlán, the ancient capital of the Aztec empire, invaded by Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés in 1519.
