Casa del la Luz

This image depicts a modern, colorful, multi-story building featuring a blend of architectural styles and materials. The façade includes various design elements: On the left, a minimalist white section with rectangular windows. A central portion with soft pink walls and arched windows. A section with beige brick-like patterns forming geometric cutouts. A striking mural on the right, showcasing vibrant floral artwork with sunflowers and a yellow sun against a pink-and-white background. The building is surrounded by greenery, including rooftop plants and ground-level landscaping. The entrance, labeled "Casa de la Luz," suggests it might serve as a residential or community-oriented structure.
