Renovation of Casa Sofia: from the 1940s to the present day

Casa Sofia is a house from the 1940s that, thanks to the renovation, rediscovers its character and is enriched with modern comfort and aesthetics. A mix of colors, clean shapes, and endless windows that create a unique atmosphere

A contemporary reinterpretation that awakens the urban fabric

Located in the Roma neighborhood in Mexico City, Casa Sofia comes back to life after more than ten years of disuse. The house renovation, according to the project by AMASA Estudio, allows it to be returned to the neighborhood with a contemporary reinterpretation that awakens the urban fabric in which it is immersed. Before the years of abandonment, Casa Sofia was occupied by offices; the architectural intervention included the creation of an apartment on the ground floor, also usable for commercial purposes, and a two-level residence on the upper floors characterized by spacious surfaces and original spaces

A poetic and out of the ordinary dimension of living

The main residence is developed with the sleeping area on the first floor, equipped with a master bedroom with private bathroom and two other double bedrooms with a shared bathroom, and the living area on the surprising and very bright top floor. Cuts of light cross the roof, as well as a cylinder that pierces one slope citing the volume of the spiral staircase. A glass wall completely opens onto the terrace and the materials between industrial and sophisticated transport into a poetic and out of the ordinary dimension of living

The ground floor apartment

From the common entrance on the ground floor, you enter the smallest apartment at street level: here the living area includes a living room and kitchen overlooking both the street and a small patio at the back; the master bedroom and bathroom complete the accommodation. On the ground floor there are also a garage and a guest bathroom
