Two spaces were intervened in this apartment: the social area and the main bedroom. The main guideline in the project was to separate the social areas without completely closing them. To achieve this goal, ebony wood lattices were designed that also function as furniture that generates storage spaces. Replicating the same language sliding doors were designed, which allow the areas to open and close according to the different activities, ensuring flexible and functional spaces.


The materiality approach complements the existing marble floor with warmer finishes such as the wood that was used for covering some walls and part of the furniture. This contrast was harmonized with a color palette based on neutral tones that highlight the selected dark woods to give a greater contrast.


The master bedroom is presented as a suite with a living area that defines a timeless, warm and classic environment where the bed is the centerpiece. It is accompanied by a design piece made of walnut wood with indirect lighting to match the sand-toned leather of the bed.


El dormitorio principal se presenta como una suite con una zona de estar que define un ambiente atemporal, cálido y clásico donde la cama es la pieza central. Lo acompaña una pieza de diseño realizada en madera de nogal con iluminación indirecta a juego con el cuero en tono arena de la cama.
