“We wanted something cozy with nooks, where you can be aware of what’s going on elsewhere,” says Isabel of the floor-to-ceiling shelving units. “They separate the environment, and cut the light a bit, but you can still see what’s happening in other spaces,” adds Matías.

When it’s a bit cooler and the windows can be opened, the home's orientation encourages excellent air circulation.

The dining room’s preserved built-ins are another great display space.
The island helps to define and separate the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas.
