House of the Week: Historic-Modern Hybrid in Mexico

The home’s living room connects to the patio through sliding glass doors. Both social spaces, the living room and kitchen, have double high ceilings. These areas are divided by the granite kitchen bar, and are unified by the open patio.

The open and airy courtyard and dining area encourages outdoor living. A custom table made from Andiroba wood and Magis White Air armchairs complete the space.

Suspended over the living room, the library bridge connects the second floor rooms of the house. The transitional space contains built-ins and desks where the owners and their three-year-old daughter can sit and read. The steel of the staircase is supported entirely by the adjacent concrete wall. A marriage of concrete, wood, and glass is used in the space, and the large windows let light in and offer a view of the roof garden.
