Residential / Monterrey
Las Misiones.
A home that sits in the canopy. Sheer horizontal shades run the full length of the glazing, so the oaks outside arrive as filtered green light rather than as a view you have to look at.

The Philosophy of Filtered Light.
The whole scheme rests on one decision: shade the glass rather than dress it. Sheer horizontal blinds diffuse the treetop light into something flat and even, which let us keep the walls plain white and the ceilings uncluttered.
Against that neutral shell we set weight and warmth — dark walnut casework, cognac leather, pale grey hide — and left the colour to the owners' own collection of folk ceramics and textile art. The rooms are a backdrop; the collection is the subject.
The Palette
Cognac, Walnut, Grey.
Layered Shading
Every opening carries two layers — a sheer horizontal blind for daytime diffusion and an opaque roller behind it — so a room can go from filtered green to fully dark without a curtain ever appearing.
