The Space:
The colonial-style building was formerly a chocolate factory and home to an Oaxacan family. After much effort, I remodeled it into an apartment building with a unique style, using basic colors and materials such as colored polished cement, stone, and high-quality wood in the furniture designed exclusively for the apartments, preserving the original floors in some areas. I designed every detail with the goal of providing you with unique experiences and sensations from the moment you enter the building. "Casa Altavista" is a 4-apartment building. Architect Francisco López Chávez was inspired by the colors and shades of the Oaxacan skies that can be enjoyed at different times of the day. The building accommodates up to 11 people.
