Located in the Condesa neighborhood, this apartment belongs to a young couple with an active social life who approached us with the request to reconfigure their social area. The initial assessment revealed a narrow, enclosed kitchen that disrupted the flow of the public space within the home.
With the understanding that the kitchen often becomes the heart of gatherings and social events, we proposed a layout centered around a large table that serves both as a food preparation area and a communal hub. This move redefined the kitchen as an open, versatile, and welcoming space.
To meet the functional and storage needs without allowing the kitchen to visually or spatially encroach on other areas, we designed a feature wall that integrates the pantry, cabinetry, and bookshelf into a unified architectural gesture, bringing cohesion and identity to the space.
The material palette was conceived to be joyful and warm, yet timeless. Two main elements anchor the concept: oak wood, which brings warmth and texture, and Calacatta marble, with its expressive yet elegant veining, adding a touch of sophistication without excess.
Most of the decorative elements were custom-designed for the project, with carefully matched tones and subtle nods to Mexican craftsmanship—which the owners deeply appreciate. As a final accent, the bookshelf’s niche was complemented with a piece by New York-based artist Maxine Bernier Braczyk, enriching the space with a curated, personal touch.
The new design not only enhances the functionality and practicality of daily living but also fosters meaningful interaction among residents and guests. Today, gatherings flow effortlessly, and the apartment resonates with the energy of a home designed for sharing.
