Renovating an apartment in Lima

Design allows us to explore the relationship between the contemporary habitat and natural environments. Estudio RF’s projects are based on the observation of the territory in transformation and establish new relationships between the body, nature and the environment, as a collective fabric.
By incorporating local materials, manual labor and rituals from design, we reincorporate the territory into our lives, integrating the body with materiality and natural cycles. Inhabiting creates the occasion for new and old rituals.

The remodeling of a duplex apartment in Lima allowed the studio to transform interiors with traditional materials and techniques in a context where the city tends towards the generic. Local materials such as Andean stone and jungle wood were used in the design of finishes and furnishings. The warm color palette is complemented by bronze accessories.
