Contemporary Country Club loft apartment. It is furthermore the full floor apartment while only 2 hours away by car from the USA border, sits on the skirts of the Sierra Madre. In contrast this is an enclave for wealthy Industrialists while home to corporate headquarters, hence one of the wealthiest areas in the México. We had done two other homes for this family. As a result when the two daughters were coming back from high school in London to attend College in Monterrey, hence we were invited to help with the new project too. First of all we meet at the site and while we sketched the layout overnight, the girls helped select furniture. The Great Room includes; Library TV full height built in, Living, Dining and Study with two desks an supporting armoires. When the project was completed, the young ladies and mother loved it, however the father exclaimed “where is the formal dining room” there is none I replied because it’s a loft. The Grand room is an open plan incorporating the Library, Study, Living and Dining room areas. The kitchen is open but Glass enclosed, with blue cabinetry to show through into the Great room. It has a asymmetrical Island with a circular end seating area. The Master (main) bedroom is for the two girls to share. Each with a queen size bed.  While a Pied-à-terre within the apartment has two small bedrooms and also a seating area. It is provided for the parents and guests to visit, from time to time. Frosted glass covers the columns of the main areas and Main Bedroom, framing the main activities in the space. Glass tile on almost all bath walls and butcher-block countertops in each matching tile colors were used in baths and kitchen. While consistency was part of the palette, a different color was chosen for each bedroom and its fabrics. Purple and Lilac for the Master, Red for the pied a terre main room, and Black for the guest. Kitchen and Powder room are Blue. Motorized roman sheers and shades for lengths of up to 30’ and 12′ height cover the windows. It is first for weight reasons and second for comfort and convenience. The wall to wall and floor to ceiling bookcase almost (27’ x12’) has a rolling ladder, while contemporary Italian furniture by B+B Italia, Cassina, Poltrona Frau, de Padova and others are used throughout.

Update. One of the two ladies is now married and moved. She took some furniture away and so on, so a Interior Design Refreshment is recommended.
