Photographer Lorenzo Zandri has documented the two modernist houses that architect Juan O'Gorman completed in Mexico City for his father and artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

Zandri used an analog camera to capture the residences, which are now museums, in the Mexican capital.
He said he typically works with a tripod but chose to shoot freehand using a shift fixed lens and film to better capture his experience.

"The film helped me to narrate the best atmosphere of the space through the colour and the natural grain," he said. "Looking at the images, I still can feel the sensation to be there, in that hot day in Mexico City."
Both properties were completed by O'Gorman, who was heavily influenced by 20th-century architecture Le Corbusier and is celebrated with introducing his functional modernist architecture to Mexico.
The first house, Cecil O'Gorman House, was completed in 1929 as a home and studio for his father. In 1931, Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo commissioned their house and studio on the adjacent plot.
O'Gorman designed the two properties using a number of details synonymous with the modern architecture style. Both properties have boxy forms accented with cylindrical volumes, terraces and staircases, while other details include concrete pilotis, baked clay panels, open floors, exposed drainage and staircases.

Zandri said that he was interested to find a number of Mexican aesthetics introduced into the functional style.
