Interiorismo MH

Maquiladora de Muebles as Designers

Interiorismo MH is a remodeling project for an apartment in Mexico City, which was carried out in two stages. The first stage consisted of designing a walk-in closet, and for the second stage, the entire public area of the apartment was intervened.

The space was designed together with the client to be able to land all their needs, where even the smallest detail is taken care of. The result is the design of an integral space. We design everything from interior design to furniture, as well as manufacturing and installation.

A representative aspect of Interiorismo MH is the lighting design since it was sought indirectly and with hanging elements that came out of the soffits or wood strips. The apartment's atmosphere is defined by its dark tones and warm lighting.

The tour of the apartment begins with the hall that was dressed with wood strips that accompany the user from the entrance door, passing through the dining room, and arriving at the living room where said wood strips becomes the TV cabinet. The main idea of this piece of furniture is that the TV can be hidden when not in use, but when the doors are opened it becomes a comfortable TV room to rest.

The kitchen and dining room are connected through the bar. The bar lowers to become the dining table that combines its leather-finish black granite cover with the Viroc that covers the walls. This covering continues through the corridor that connects to the guest room and bathroom.

Inside the room, the use of warmer materials was accentuated but always combined with dark tones. The bedroom is divided into the bed area and the walk-in closet. The TV cabinet divides both spaces, achieving great privacy in each area.

The materials used in this project were high-end plastic laminates combined with Viroc and Valchromat in dark tones. For the color palette, we were inspired by generating a modern and dark environment that could change atmospheres depending on the play of warm lights that you want to use on each occasion.

A great hallmark of this project was how involved the client was during all the processes. It is a great example of a participatory design where functionality and design play a symbiotic relationship that is felt immediately upon entering the space.
