This oceanfront apartment is meant to bring people together and accommodate different ways of gathering. As such, furniture is used to create natural-feeling divisions in the space—importantly, a large modular couch in the living room enables groups to sit together or enjoy different activities separately. This focal piece of furniture is Italian, as are other key pieces in the home, seeing that one of the core design intents is blending European elements with local ceramics, textiles, glass, and stone. Another of the home’s most emblematic pieces is an oval dining table completely wrought from Mexican volcanic rock.
