From its inception, the house's design focused on connecting with the environment. Large windows and open spaces maximize the mountain views, integrating the landscape into the home's interior. The use of local materials like laja stone, huanacaxtle wood, and artisanal mosaics reinforces the project's organic character. The earthy color palette, inspired by the site's natural hues, accentuates this integration and reinforces the sense of belonging to the landscape.
The project's scope was comprehensive, encompassing everything from final selection to integral design of furniture and decor. To achieve this, a careful selection of artisanal and designer pieces was made, including works from Mob, La Metropolitana, Casa Quieta, Musetta, Bludot, Ruiz Bazán, Isabel Moncada, Artisan Bodega, Axoque, ITZ, Contorno, Bandido, and Nativa Living.
Custom-designed elements include handwoven wool rugs from Teotitlán del Valle and artisanal mosaics from San Pedro. Detailed carpentry was also designed to optimize the functionality of each space.
Two significant challenges arose during the project: coordinating remotely between the Oaxaca and Mexico City teams, and developing customized mechanisms for specific spaces. To address the first challenge, constant reporting and production adjustments ensured design fidelity. For the second, when a suitable solution for a TV-enclosing furniture piece couldn't be found, prototypes were designed and tested until a precise and aesthetically aligned solution was achieved.
The project's process ensured a result aligned with the initial vision, opening opportunities for innovation in customized furniture and highlighting the importance of bespoke design within Tivoli House. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a home that respects the essence of the place, reflecting a commitment to local architecture and its surroundings through its materiality, design, and execution.
