In the kitchen area, an open concept was created in high gloss white, integrating all 
furniture in a hidden way, we used a paneled subzero refrigerator, thus integrating 
the kitchen and dining area in a very natural way, making a very aesthetically pleasing kitchen, clean but without leaving aside the functionality and space.
In the living room, we made a multifunctional space in which you can receive visitors but can also be used as a TV room.

We integrated a TV cabinet which was lined with a paste of Corev, which gives the Corev, which gives the appearance of Mexican quarry. On the left side of the space was placed a storage cabinet was placed on the left side of the space. A modular rug was placed that can be adapted in different ways depending on the needs or type of decoration depending on the needs or type of decoration to be used.
For the half bath we placed a very modern oval pedestal sink with a mirror and a pair of sculptures that also function as sculptures that also function as coat racks, with these last details we gave it a minimalist touch.

porcelain tile with the appearance of wood, which is the same as the floor, thus giving it a continuity that flows from floor to ceiling in addition to this we made a custom headboard upholstered in different shades of gray and black, forming a

The bathroom was totally modified, creating a much larger space than the existing one, which is which is adorned with an inset bathtub, with a sink forged in black quartz with small silver sparkles in the silver sparkles, in the background you can see a spectacular black metallic mosaic wall that perfectly matches the perfectly matching the sink bar, thanks to the great entrance of natural light that we have, it was possible to use the natural light, it was possible to use this range of dark colors without making the small or dark. The ceilings were painted white to create an even brighter space, using the same light fixtures that were placed in the living room and dining room with indirect light and managed a warm touch with a touch of porcelain. A warm touch with a touch of wood type porcelain tile was given the final touch to create a luxurious bathroom.
