This loft waas bought and built from obra negro (just walls) by Mexico city architect Valentina Deffis. All natural finishes and materials were used throughout.
Wherever possible walls were removed and replace with large 6mm glass that pivots open to increase light and ventilation. The ceiling also includes 6 long vented above wall skylights that cast beautiful shadows and light on the walls year round. They contain ressesed lighting that is perfect for night relaxation.
One of the most promanant integral features is all the walls and ceiling are done in the ancient stucco tecnique of pure limestone plaster by two men brought in from Vera Cruz. This tecnique is similar to Tadelakt and just as labor intensive. Yes it is all black ,we used charchol for the pigment. You may think it makes the place look small but with all the additional light and massive patio door it is sexy and cozy. The walla are living breathing works of art made right from the soil from your backyard. The bedroom is delicious for sleepiong in and movie night.
