The idea was to merge the original architecture of the house with contemporary design thus reflecting a sophisticated lifestyle that had evolved over the years.  To this effect, open spaces and high ceilings were transformed into cozy, colorful ones

The lighting went from Halogen to LED and the designers introduced both vegetation and natural textures resulting in a whole new style and individual personality.

1.- The Living Room

Ligne Rose is one of the brands that stand out with the two sofas and the coffee table at the center. The colorful tapestry from Harald merges with different accessories by Alessi, and the art shown on the wall is by Armando Guerrero, a renowned contemporary artist from Oaxaca, Mexico.

Large Windows are decked with five-meter-long blinds from Lutron, thus beautifully mellowing daylight.

The pièce-de-résistance here is Ether, the six-meter-long luminary by Murano Due that enhances the living room and highlights the main entrance.

  1. The Terrace

The furniture, necessarily weatherproof due to Mexico City’s never-ending rainy season, is by Gloster, the brand with the top quality ideal for this Project.

  1. The Dining Room

Andrew World is the firm responsible for the marble top table, seating twelve, and the chairs, both elegant and comfortable.
