Diving into a project where the past imposes its presence is a unique challenge. In this case, what already exists is not only the previous use of the apartment but also the echo of the stories lived there, intertwined with those of the new inhabitants and their objects, furniture, and memories, which will fill the space with new meanings. From these elements, the essence of the design is born, molded fluidly to embrace every corner of daily life.
The transformation covers 314 m2, suspended on the eighth floor, in the west of Mexico City.
A couple, along with their three young children, set the guidelines that shape every decision—from the spatial arrangements that will support their family life to the intricate details of furniture and layout.
The interior design adapts to the irregularity of the building with its own sense of order and rhythm.
The spatial layout consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, bar, service areas, two secondary bedrooms for the children, and the master bedroom, which maintains the parents’ privacy.
It is important for the clients not to lose sight of their social lives, hence the physical division between public and private spaces, which is also a separation of their activities as parents and as hosts, allowing them to maintain a connection with friends and loved ones.
In this way, the intimate areas are arranged on one side, while the social spaces are on the other, articulated by the symbolic crossing of the kitchen and service areas—the union between family life and the act of hosting.
The first space encountered is the entrance, which, although its use is merely
transitional, functions as a threshold that separates the public hallway from the
home’s interior. Upon opening the door, a cozy space welcomes you; the lighting is soft, providing a moment of pause, a silence in which you breathe before entering. The design, strongly inspired by Barragán’s architecture, features a low ceiling that simulates a skylight dome, bathing the artwork at the end of the hallway in light.
The small foyer contains and introduces you to the social area of the home. It is a single space divided into three sections by the arrangement of the furniture. The first section is the bar, featuring a green marble table with an irregular shape that contrasts with the straight lines of the cabinetry and ceiling. Next are the dining room and living room, where textures and materials coexist harmoniously with objects and artworks. Fabrics, wood, marble, and elegant materials envelop these three spaces into one, visually connected by an asymmetrical line in the ceiling—a lighting detail.
Directly connected to the kitchen and close to the bedrooms is the family room, the heart of the private part of the house. It is also the place where parents can freely interact with their children—where they play, chat, or relax together while watching TV.
The two secondary bedrooms are located on the other side of the hallway. Both, identical in size, serve different purposes. The first, with two single beds, is naturally the room for the two older children. In addition to the furniture the client already had, specific pieces were designed for each space, with the furniture in this room proving to be the most adaptable. What was initially conceived as a bookshelf at a certain height was eventually adjusted to a lower toy shelf. Storing toys and children’s items became the main objective of the furniture in this room, which posed a challenge by breaking certain design conventions. However, the result was entirely positive, as the furniture
turned out to be as surprising as children themselves.
The second bedroom is the baby’s room, which, like its occupant, allows for a different kind of control.
Finally, at the far end of the apartment, is the master bedroom. Like the rest of the home, it is divided and articulated by the service areas. A door separates the sleeping area from the dressing room, a special request from the client to allow one of the spaces to be closed off if one of them needed to travel early or finish packing without disturbing the other.
The dressing room is, hierarchically, a larger space than the bedroom, which was an undeniable success due to the particular use the clients give it. Again, custom cabinetry and furniture blend seamlessly with the existing furniture and objects the clients already had.
The apartment features neutral finishes that convey serenity, highlighting the reach of natural light, which is accentuated throughout the project by materials such as tundra beige marble, taj mahal marble, light wood, and the artworks scattered throughout the house, which essentially guided the lighting design.
This is a home that stimulates both the parents’ social lives and their family life with their children, clearly reflected in its layout. A design tailor-made in collaboration with the clients and its most important users—the children.
