Arqmov Workshop began their renovation by stripping the apartment down to the basics. Removing finishes revealed a polished concrete floor and waffle-slab ceiling.
Old carpets, wallcoverings, drop ceilings—this apartment in the Polanco area of Mexico City, formerly belonging to an elderly woman, had settled into a senescent funk long before its current resident, a single graphic designer, arrived. Arqmov Workshop stripped back the fussier details, then carefully reintegrated a few bold textures and patterns that jibed with their client's professional calling.
