Simple, warm, natural and handmade are adjectives that faithfully define the qualities that this project had to exude. The owners are dedicated to fashion and their brand also represents these same values. For them it was essential not to intervene too much, that the result was casual and without artifice, just as they are. 

The first thing that came to mind was Alberto Ponis and his "poor architecture", something organic and vernacular. Uninvasive but with flavour and warmth. Patricia Bustos Studio developed the whole project using as a central axis the staircase that connects the two floors and at the same time subtly divides the kitchen area from the rest of the living-dining room. The project focuses on giving prominence to this organic staircase, which is the highlight of the project. 

Patricia Bustos Studio rescued the wood of the floor and only tiled the last two steps with tiles to create a set of two-colour stripes that we would later deploy throughout the house, thus making this two-colour stripe the guiding thread of the project. Patricia Bustos likes the figurative representation that this pattern evokes, light and shadow, something classic and at the same time modern, also contrasted but harmonious. This duality of the stripe has inspired the studio a lot along with the humility and calmness of the Ponis architecture.

The biggest challenge was to include the curve in the project without hardly intervening, so the studio covered the staircase banister and finished it in curve, also they executed rounded edges in the hood and the kitchen island and some shelves and arched steps.
