Article source: Chain + siman This 400 sqm apartment in Mexico City is characterized by the simplicity of its shapes, open spaces, and neutral palette that results in an aesthetic and functional balance. The entrance hall is a transitional element: LED lightning within a gray Rochelle marble box (same marble found in the corridor leading up to the front door) makes a dynamic use of linear design to highlight the cube’s textures.
The living room, kitchen and dining room are all located in one common area where the natural iron chimney subtly fragments the space. Walnut wood covers floors and walls, resulting in a timeless, warm and flexible atmosphere. The kitchen, which opens towards the social areas of the residence, is composed of an island with marble topping that sits next to a long wooden cover that functions as a dining bar table as well. Within the TV room, a tailor-made entertainment center contains a wide variety of books and decorative objects. Its sliding central panels made of wooden slabs can be moved to reveal a wide TV set. Lighting was designed to frame the spaces and highlight the wood and marble elements. Interior circulation was meticulously designed to bring continuity to the spaces, creating strong links between the main common area, the TV room, the studio and the bedrooms. Most pieces of furniture were selected on gray and ocre tones to compliment both the wooden finishes and the white marble. Every element, color and texture was carefully chosen to obtain a special result that reflects its owner’s personalities, while achieving a sense of harmony between architecture, interior design and furnishings.
