Explore a Forest-Inspired Home in Mexico City
2023 Best of Year Winner for Medium Residential Transformation
With its curved wooden paneling and efficient built-ins, the two-bedroom apartment in the Residencias La Loma complex might call to mind a fine yacht interior. But it was the forest, not the sea, that provided inspiration for Esrawe Studio. To maximize views of trees on the western side of the home, divisions were removed, creating a 3,000-square-foot open plan. Perimeter walls were wrapped in oak veneer, as was a structural column; a low console trimmed in brass extends from both sides of the column enclosure, while Rochelle marble runs underfoot. Appliances in the minimalist kitchen all but disappear. In the guest bathroom, however, the washbasin is the focus of attention, its base of Tikal marble doubling as sculpture.
