What does it mean for you to design interiors?
For us it is much more than choosing furniture: it is about understanding how each environment is used, what is needed and how to make it comfortable and functional. When design adapts to real life, spaces accompany every day.
What differences are there between projecting a new home and transforming an existing one?
The process changes according to the starting point. When designing a new house, the functionality, lighting and circulation from the beginning are released. In houses already built, the challenge is to adapt to the existing and decide what to conserve and what to transform. In both cases, the objective is the same: to achieve an interior consistent with the current needs of those who inhabit it.
What role do the materials in the well -being of a space?
Textures, colors and endings are essential. They not only provide aesthetics, they also influence amplitude, warmth, luminosity and comfort. Earth tones transmit serenity; Green and blue, freshness and balance. A practical tip: combine natural wood with concrete seen or white walls to create balanced contrast without overloading the environment.
What is your favorite space to design inside a house?
The kitchen. It is a place that brings together many variables: it must be functional, lasting and pleasant. Including design taps, playing with coatings such as visual focus and maintaining clear surfaces helps generate order and amplitude.
How do aesthetics and functionality balance?
For me there is no rivalry between both concepts: a beautiful space that is not used loses meaning, and a functional without character is forgettable. The key is that the practical supports the everyday and the aesthetic identity contribution.
What advice would you give to improve an environment without great reform?
A simple and very effective resource is to work lighting. Mixing general light with focal points and opting for warm tones can completely change the perception of an environment, making it more cozy and personality.
