Condesa DF Hotel

By: Javier Sanchez (architect) and India Mahdavi (interior designer)
Where: Mexico City, Mexico
The hotel was converted from a Neo-classical building to this contemporary version. The inner courtyard is the most important, because it is where people are seen. As you can see in the picture the inner courtyard is also known by the many shutters that guests can use for privacy or publicity. I love the repetitiveness of the shutters and what they express. A barrier but also a filter.
