When the clients requested the renovation project of this apartment, located in Asa Norte in Brasília, the main concern was to expand the social areas. Previously, the couple lived in a duplex whose size was almost double the current one, but with the departure of their children and the desire to travel led them to considerably reduce the size of their new residence. However, the option for practicity should not impact the spacious space they were used to, nor their ability to receive family and friends at home.
The Muxarabi Suite was named in a tribute at the wooden lattice that appears on all balconies of this beautiful commercial building designed by the Arch. Milton Ramos.
The design of this small studio of just over 30m2, was based on the premise of integrating the environments. The delimitation between them is only due to the furniture and the terracotta painting of the kitchen and the entrance hall.
In this way, natural light invades the apartment and the integration conveys a feeling of spaciousness in the studio.

Located near the Lago de Guadalupe in Cuautitlan-Izcalli, where the urban aspect of greaterMexico City begins to fade, this house has an introspective character, with just one balcony overlooking the lake from the master bedroom. The rest is an interplay of cubes contained within the principal box formed by the surrounding walls.
