Article source: Factor Eficiencia Ignacia Guest House starts from the rescue of this old house in memory of whom was the former housekeeper for more than 70 years. The concept of the project was created starting from the personality and documentary information about Mrs. Ignacia, from the chromatic palette and gardening (inspired by the landscapes of Ignacia’s origin place, Guerrero) to the intimacy of spaces.

We preserved the original floor plan but we reassigned the use of the spaces. Moldings, plasterwork and historical finishes were restored. The windows frames and original doors were preserved, and the wood stave floors were rescued.

With terraces and a harmonious chromatic palette, each guest room creates environments in tune with the complex.

Pieces of the artisan workshop pieces of the pottery master José Cervantes, from San Agustín Oapan, Guerrero complement the project.
