Located in Mexico City, the KG apartment, completed in 2015 by Kabab Arquitectos, showcases a modern interior that masterfully uses a neutral color palette accented with earth tones. The design of the apartment enhances the living space with bursts of color through carefully chosen accessories, adding vibrancy and depth to the neutral backdrop.
Unified Design Elements
One of the standout features of the KG apartment is the ceiling in the living and family rooms. A prefabricated lattice made of reclaimed wood spans across these two spaces, integrating them seamlessly. The design includes hollows for lighting fixtures that provide indirect lighting, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Spatial Dynamics
The dining room and kitchen are cleverly delineated by a breakfast/eating area, which serves as a subtle partition. This area is closed off towards the dining room yet opens up towards the kitchen, creating a fluid yet distinct separation between the two spaces. This layout enhances the functionality of the space while maintaining an open feel.
Architectural Highlights
The public area of the apartment is defined by a centrally located library, highlighted by a minimalist fireplace finished in grey marble. This strategic placement and the transparent design of the library allow it to be visible throughout the apartment, serving as a focal point that ties the various elements of the public space together.
Private Spaces
The bedrooms are thoughtfully grouped in a specific wing of the apartment, providing privacy and tranquility away from the communal areas. The master bedroom is notably enhanced by an adjoining T.V. room, which functions as a vestibular chamber, adding a unique dynamic to the interior layout of the apartment.
Conclusion
KG Apartment exemplifies modern architectural and interior design principles, balancing aesthetics and functionality. The thoughtful use of materials, colors, and spatial arrangements makes this apartment not only a visually appealing space but also a practical one for daily living. The design choices by Kabab Arquitectos reflect a deep understanding of modern living requirements, making KG Apartment a standout project in contemporary urban design.
