@casitamxhome Welcome to architects @anaydiego.mx casita in Mexico City! The couple renovated this 500 sqft apartment into a space that’s both functional and cozy. The architect couple designed their own gorgeous custom cabinets to maximize space and conceal appliances. We love the Tezontle volcanic stone used throughout the kitchen and bathrooms which are reminiscent of the volcanoes surrounding the city.
