Philippe Starck was in charge of the projection of the building where this beautiful apartment in the heart of Mexico City is located, The Limited, a house that needed an avant-garde interior design without losing essence and that combined a certain New York loft style with selected pieces of contemporary art. “The main challenge of this project was to redistribute the spaces, to create a more open apartment with a feeling of spaciousness, while we wanted to make it an apartment with contemporary and fresh air”, says Margaret Bissu, from Margaret Bisuu Interioris, the study in charge of the project. “My participation consisted in the design and interior design project, as well as the redistribution of spaces and selection of architectural materials. The architectural execution was carried out by my brother and partner Simon Bissu Bazbaz, from SBB Arquitectura. The inspiration behind this project, which lasted eight months, was to create a spacious and well distributed environment, where a New York-type loft and avant-garde style felt, which had the possibility of being an open space and at the same time being able to section it in such a way so that privacy would be had depending on what is required at the time.

The house has three bedrooms, living room, dining room, living room and kitchen, and to achieve the objective, the use of noble materials was opted for, based on a fresh and avant-garde trend but at the same time warm, such as a type of white Venatto carrara marble. on floors, walls and bathrooms, a white oak wood tone, for the main wall that leads from the living room to the entire corridor and with clear Japanese inspiration, stone that highlights the fireplace and the sliding doors in black ironwork with glass. In this set, the way in which the kitchen was resolved is striking, which is at the entrance of the apartment and is presented with a central bar in eternal Marquina black marble more than three meters long and that can be converted into an independent space sliding doors slam. But in all environments the same common thread is discovered, which is none other than art, through pieces of contemporary art by names such as Jan Hendrix, Alberto Lezaca, Fernando Carbajal or Agustín González. “The project sums up the ability to reinvent ourselves, to achieve a harmonious and balanced result in all its forms.”
