Casa Mondo (Martino: Mondo House) is the residence of Mondo Etzeterra in Nouvelle Alexandrie. Located in the Bocabona district of Cárdenas, the building complex is known for its bizarre architectural style. Construction began in 1753 AN and remains ongoing, although the principle residential wing was completed in time for the Federation Platinum Jubilee in 1755 AN.
Background
A frequent visitor to Nouvelle Alexandrie, Mondo started thinking seriously about obtaining a home in Cárdenas after being awarded honorary citizenship in early 1751 AN.
"Around the time I was made an honorary citizen, it was suggested to me that I might like to have a home somewhere in Nouvelle Alexandrie," explained Mondo. "They said 'You come here all the time! Why not have a house here?' and I thought 'That's a good idea! If I have a house of my own, I won't have to impose on the Royal Household staff whenever I come to visit'. So I started looking about for somewhere suitable. It took some time, because it was very important to me that I didn't accidentally crush any toes, but I was eventually pointed towards a derelict site on the edge of Bocabona, that needed redevelopment. Bocabona is a very jolly place, so I knew it was the spot for me!"
