In the environs of Valle de Bravo, Casa Rancho Avándaro is based on the concept of Mexican haciendas: the solidity and purity of the volumes combines with locally-sourced materials and patios. It consists of three volumes, each one contained by stone walls. At the interior the stonework has been left exposed where it combines with ironwork features and wood. The feel of each interior space dialogues with the straightforward rusticity of the architecture, giving the home a contemporary and innovative twist, achieving a harmonious combination of luxury, aesthetic appeal, and functionality.
Chain + Siman is an architecture and interior design firm based in Mexico City, with years of experience in Mexico and the United States. It is led by Renatta Chain and Lina Siman.
The idea behind the firm has to do with simplicity: the use of clean lines, natural palettes and a close dialogue between light, space and textures. The concept of each project is based on a systematic organization of the design elements, which reveal their physical characteristics and achieve a balance between luxury, aesthetics and functionality.
