Ignacia Guest House

Ignacia Guest House starts from the rescue of this 1913’s mansión in Colonia Roma, Mexico City, in memory of whom was the former housekeeper for more than 70 years, Mrs Ignacia. The concept of the project was created starting from the personality and information about her, from the chromatic palette and gardening (inspired on Ignacia’s origin place, Guerrero) to the intimacy of spaces. The historic building includes the entrance hall, reception, library, dining room, kitchen and the Black Guest Room (master suite), all along with a common concept of nude color used in the interiors of the building. A completely new building was built where the service rooms used to be to house the rest of the guest rooms: Blue, Green, Pink and Yellow which are vertically arranged around the central patio. The interior furniture creates a dialogue between tradition, past, modernism and contemporaneity including designer furniture such as Eileen Gray, Eero Saarinen, Serge Mouille, Sean Dix and James Tan, likewise the spaces are complemented by contemporary design pieces of: A-G, Bo Concept, PECA and Jonathan Adler. Pieces of the artisan workshop pieces of the pottery master José Cervantes, from San Agustín Oapan, Guerrero complement the project.
