Se nos encargó la ampliación y remodelación de esta Casa, ubicada en Lomas de Chapultepec, para un Cineasta y su Familia.


La principal petición consistía en un cambio total de la atmósfera y ambiente general, con la petición especial de crear un nuevo espacio de convivencia y estancia familiar, que también funcionara para recibir visitas.


Se decidió crear una caja independiente al resto de la casa por medio de una estructura ligera de acero recubierto en madera de nogal, tanto en piso como en la techumbre y que estuviera envuelta por nichos y repisas, para alojar libros y objetos que expresaran los gustos artísticos de los propietarios, este mismo ritmo en los libreros se utilizó en los ventanales, a fin de enmarcar la preciosa vista arbolada.


El espacio interior del nuevo volumen se compone de dos salas: una informal de T.V. para el uso diario familiar y otra sala hundida con vista a los árboles y a un gran nicho, donde baja una pantalla para proyectar películas, eventos deportivos, así como presentar los diferentes proyectos fílmicos de los propietarios en compañía de sus inviados. También se propuso integrar una mesa para trabajar y un bar.


El resto de la planta alta, por donde se accede y que alberga toda el área pública, se optó por un acabado en piso de granito negro, mismo acabado utilizado en formato pequeño para el patio.


La cocina de igual forma tuvo una ampliación y renovación total con el objeto de integrarla al patio, se escogió un acabado en color verde retro, para los frentes que contrasta con el granito y madera de nogal.


La ampliación en los pisos inferiores, consistió en generar un nuevo especio, para alojar la recámara, baño y vestidor principal, con la idea de crear frescura y luz, se decidió utilizar madera clara y mármoles blancos en las zonas privadas de la casa.
