MONTES AUVERNIA || A Harmonious Confluence of Elegance and Simplicity in Mexico City
Interior design is a unique art form, where every space tells a story, every colour has a purpose, and every piece of furniture holds a memory.
At Montes Auvernia, located in one of Mexico City's most exclusive neighbourhoods, that narrative speaks of artful elegance, meticulously crafted details, and an underlying simplicity. This stunning residential project by Cuaik CDS design is where modern aesthetics meet timeless elegance.
Interiors that Tell a Story
Designed by the prodigious Fernando Legorreta, the construction and subsequent remodelling of the Montes Auvernia residence is an effortless blend of opulence and comfort. The interior, thoughtfully crafted by the team at Cuaik CDS, weaves a delightful narrative of soft wood tones with light marbles and striking black steel details. This captivating interplay is not just a visual treat but a harmonious blend, embodying the essence of sophisticated living.
Soft wooden finishes complemented with marble details create an opulent yet inviting space.
Artful Elegance in Every Corner
One cannot help but notice the beautifully raw tones defining the furniture against walls seamlessly integrated with varied textures. Adding vibrancy to this muted palette, the decor on the shelves sprinkles pops of colours, tastefully placed art pieces, and a hint of playfulness that captures the eye and the heart.
Stone and marble elements drape the home in elegance and grace. Sheer curtains sculpt the natural light flowing into the high-ceiling living area, adding layers to the home's inviting ambiance.
Crafting Spaces with Light and Reflection
One of the most breathtaking features of this house is the expansive windows in the living room. Gently curving around and embracing the living room, the windows allow daylight to cascade in, turning the room into an illuminated stage.
The living room is surrounded by expansive windows filtering in natural light.
The bar area is another notable design detail. The nostalgic green of yesteryears, set against a pristine marble table and leather stools, exudes warmth and invitation. Thoughtfully curated shelves adorned with pictures, books, and unique collectibles, juxtaposed with mirrors that expand space and light, make this area a hub of stories and memories.
The retro dark green in the bar area establishes an impactful mood unique from the rest of the home.
Ascending into a Play of Light and Shadow
The staircase leading upstairs is the centrepiece of the home. When bathed in sunlight, it gives one the feeling of stepping into a dreamscape. The corridor, dressed by zenithal light filtering through a wooden lattice, creates a dance of reflections against the pristine white walls. This, again, is a testament to Cuaik CDS’s crafting the mood in a space with light and textures.
The staircase presents a masterful interplay of light and shadow.
Every corner, every shade, and every texture echoes the dedication and passion of the Cuaik CDS team. The perfect amalgamation of raw materials with luxury speaks not just of opulence but comfort and warmth. In the heart of Mexico City, Montes Auvernia stands tall as a beacon of sophisticated simplicity, the very essence of modern-day luxury living.
