What initially was intended to be a minimalist apartment for the owners' temporary stays during their visits to Mexico City has turned into an eclectic space that will be permanently inhabited by a family of five.
Located on the 23rd floor of a tower in Santa Fe, in the western part of Mexico City famous for its architecture and corporate focus; the penthouse boasts great natural lighting throughout the day, creating a comfortable and cozy atmosphere in most of its spaces.
A double height and a sober color palette is the perfect combination for an eclectic decor, modern classics and contemporary furniture, unique art pieces like the impressive sculpture made of thermoformed mirrors by mexican artist Ricardo Sánchez and some antiques, like and old samurai armor from Japan.
Continuous planes, rounded corners, and curves that simulate arches are recurring elements in the design of this space. Arabescato marble, american walnut, and the use of brass give it that unique character that only authentic materials can express. Attention to detail and quality in execution is evident in every corner, making this penthouse a one-of-a-kind space.
Bio Álvaro H. Félix Studio is a different kind of architecture, it stands for exploration and emotion, for technical refinement and an informed position. We focus on fundamental aspects of architecture,the relationship between people and space, the experience, the way they live the place where they stand.
We create objects, buildings, spaces, master-plans and infrastructure; our motivation is to design the most interesting places with their own soul, embracing the complexities of the world that surround us.
