The reform was not much less superficial, since the house was decorated with murals and moldings – all different styles – that had to be erased to simplify the style to turn it into a minimalist oasis. «Selling the house while reforming was a challenge, since we had to change many of its characteristics on the march to fit the style that the new owners wanted.» Also, although the house is large, the rooms are … huge! Under these conditions, it is difficult to create a sense of warmth without filling the spaces of many (unnecessary) things to make them visually smaller, something that Tamara Magel, known for their modern aesthetics that combines refined finishes, organic elements and artisanal details, refrains from doing.
