In the historic neighbourhood of La Paz, which dates from 1931, we found this 1960’s house where we saw the opportunity of rescuing and transforming the place into our new office space.

As a starting point, we took the concepts which were used for our identity’s rebrand and developed the interior design proposal from there, using different resources to give each space its own identity without losing the main ideas: Essence and Presence.

Essence is everything we are as a studio, the things that inspire us and that in which we believe in. Presence refers to what we aspire to be, a professional creative studio, timeless yet avant garde. These concepts might seem abstract but they are nonetheless present in the spaces through materials, colors, objects and furniture, as well as through resources and design concepts we use in our own projects, so that every person that is familiar with our work can easily identify these place as authentically ours.

For this project we considered the respect to materiality and to some pre existencies of the house such as the stone walls, bathroom tiles and built ins in one of the rooms and the kitchen, and didn’t do any radical spatial interventions. We worked with fixed color palettes from Comex (who was one of our sponsors) and the 2021 Trends, and selected colors according to each space’s function and the atmosphere we were trying to create. From there, we selected the rest of the materials and pieces (floors, lamps and lighting fixtures), personalizing colors in objects and furniture to integrate them to every spatial and functional proposal of the entire space.

And so the Meeting Room, Bathroom, Reading Room, Workspace and Kitchen have each their own identity, colors and materials, but are all linked through the essence of our brand. With objetcs that are a part of our history, we tell the story of this young design studio.

Each member of the team got to design one space, coming up with concept, color palette, furniture proposal, and the overall design of the space. We were also lucky enough to have the support of several sponsors that helped bring to life our vision: Amor Zapoteco (personalized rugs), AV Prestige (Meeting Room screen), Comex (paint), Firenze (floors), IHO (operative chairs), Labótic (plants and pots), Ladrillos de México (clay pots), Mool (furniture for the waiting area, meeting room, reading room and dinning room), Natural Urbano (personalized lamps), Soul Studio (workstations), and Bruno Valencia (wall mural).
