Inside and Outside Intertwined In Impredictible Spaces

The Barrancas House by Ezequielfarca arquitectura y diseño is a restored building from the seventies in Mexico City. The house was in no way attractive but had great spatial potential.

By using marble, stone, wood, together with neutral tones as dark green or chocolate the architects managed to integrate the exterior with the interior, creating an earthy, yet spacious feeling.
