CREATIVITY, ART AND TRADITION

Chromatic intensity, materiality and creative flair make these environments enveloping and personal, far from fashions and clichés.

Colours, joy, energy and creativity are the elements that inspired the Mexican architects to furnish this house of over 100 square metres.

The various natural materials – such as rattan, glass, wood, marble and granite – intertwine continuously, creating an original, comfortable and fascinating environment. The velvet upholstery, with light blue and pink co-lours, is underlined by golden metal accessories, while a sought-after lighting system sets the mood, making the rooms even more enveloping.

One of the owners’ wishes was to have a minibar in the social area, to prepare cocktails and accompany evenings with friends:this space was created at the end of the living room, where, behind it, there is a large aged mirror, ah hoc which magnifies the environment and makes it brighter.

The artistic side plays an important role inside the house, highlighting the details and colours found in the various areas, including the sleeping area and the bathrooms. The plasters of the walls that enclose the social areas were created using the ancient technique of natural Chukum and with pink pigment, a material used by the ancient Maya, obtained from Havardia Albicans, a plant which, mixed with water and cement, releases a peculiar colour through tannins.

To achieve a dynamic atmosphere in the social area, the architects created a series of corridors and hallways, to promote fluidity in the various passages from one room to another. Everywhere, the traditional majolica flooring marks the interior project, thus creating an artistic and warm back-drop with a fairly neutral shade, suitable to accommodate the furnishings. The dining room focuses on the six seater black granite table, surrounded by wooden and pearl-coloured fabric armchairs with an original design. A large copper chandelier illuminates this area.

The double room stands out on a blue majolica floor, with the headboard defined by a weave made of purple rosewood, with two side panels finished in Vienna straw, the result of craftsmanship that reflects the traditional Mexican style. The bathroom maintains the same mood as the entire home: elegance and colour, a combination that defines the entire project, making it appreciable and captivating.
