Overview
Mariel Lozano Studio, based in Mexico City, developed the interior design and custom furniture elements for a hospitality project situated in Mexico City. The project, named San Luis, represents the inaugural property for Stays, a concept originating from the music and design practice Mad Monk Studios. The primary objective articulated for this design endeavor was the optimization of a compact spatial layout, with specific aims to engender 'tranquillity' and mitigate clutter within the developed space.
Research Context
The San Luis project is positioned within the broader framework of Stays, an emergent concept by Mad Monk Studios. Stays is described as a collection intended to eventually encompass multiple rentable residences, with San Luis serving as its debut property. Mariel Lozano Studio's involvement centered on the interior architecture and bespoke furnishing for this initial installation.
Approach
Mariel Lozano Studio's approach involved the design of both interiors and custom furniture. The explicit goal was to 'optimise compact layout' within the Mexico City apartment. Design considerations were directed towards achieving 'tranquillity' and implementing strategies to 'reduce clutter' within the confines of the compact space.
Findings
The design work undertaken by Mariel Lozano Studio resulted in interiors and custom furniture for the San Luis property. The studio's efforts were focused on the 'optimisation' of the apartment's 'compact layout', with the stated outcomes being the creation of 'tranquillity' and a reduction in clutter within the finished environment.
Why This Matters
This project introduces San Luis as the first property under the Stays concept by Mad Monk Studios. It demonstrates Mariel Lozano Studio's application of design principles to enhance compact hospitality spaces in Mexico City through custom furniture and interior planning, aiming for specific experiential qualities like 'tranquillity' and reduced clutter.
