Hidden Gems: Illuminated Interiors Behind Impenetrable Exteriors
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Dwell
A house in Mexico City, originally built over 30 years ago and previously refurbished, has been reconfigured to adapt to the lifestyle of its new owners. The exterior of the house features small openings for glimpses of the outside while maintaining privacy, while the interior is designed to embrace natural light through a series of openings that blur the boundaries between spaces. The use of dark colors on the exterior and contrasting materials on the interior creates a play of light and shadow throughout the day.
