English description provided by the architects.

Tabasco 267 is the renovation of a 90-square-meter (968-square-foot) apartment in the Roma Norte neighborhood of Mexico City.

CAAM used the existing conditions as the project's primary raw material, transforming the layout, ceilings, finishes, lighting, and furniture.

The walls dividing the kitchen, dining room, and living room were removed to create a single, continuous, and open social area.

By pushing the kitchen back against the rear wall, the front of the apartment was cleared, allowing more natural light to enter. This social area becomes the core that connects the rest of the domestic activities.

A custom wooden unit extends across the length and height of the apartment, serving various functions while remaining integrated into the architecture. Along the hallway, it functions as storage and display.

Toward the bedrooms, it turns into wall paneling that lines the walls and vestibules the entrance to the private areas. Inside, it houses the laundry area, taking advantage of the existing bathroom plumbing.

Spatial continuity also extends to the materials: travertine flooring, wood for the built-in furniture, and finishes in neutral tones.

This same logic was applied to elements that could not be modified.

An old service window, whose proportions no longer matched the new layout, was preserved and reinterpreted with new ironwork and folding wicker panels that filter incoming light.

The monochromatic built-in furniture, finished in warm tones, acts as a serene backdrop, contrasted and energized by pieces with organic shapes and diverse textures.
