Casa Wabi

Casa Wabi is a Tadao Ando-designed arts foundation on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca. The concrete-and-palm compound sits between ocean and jungle, built to foster dialogue between artists and the surrounding Mixtec community. Residents live in minimalist beachfront studios and participate in community engagement projects — collaborating with local schools, cooperatives, and artisan groups. The program is fully funded: housing, meals, studio, and a production budget. Founded by artist Bosco Sodi in 2014.
