A 1970s house located in Mexico City is updated into a modern home. The Dubbed Barrancas House, the beautiful residence is the result of the restoration of a house that is built in the seventies but didn’t look visually appealing and attractive at first but it had great spatial potential. The restoration was a challenge for the designer who aimed to create a home with a great attention to details and modernity. The design also aimed to discover different spaces and levels in order to generate expectation and surprise. The designers too advantage of the location of the house that has views towards the woods. Floor to ceiling windows were installed to maximize such views. Natural elements from the exterior such as natural light as well as the views to the woods became part of the interior without compromising the comfort and intimacy of the dwellers. The house is comprised of a home theater, a wine cellar, a gym, 2 terraces, a pool, garden and green areas. Hallways lead to multi-functional unpredictable spaces that are achieved through movable screen walls, hidden doors, and bay windows that are open entirely.
