Skylit minimalist townhouse
The townhouse operates like a private home of ten rooms, wrapped in metal mesh that softens the bustle of Polanco.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A central skylight illuminates the metal staircase, set against volcanic stone floors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Avenida Presidente Masaryk sits a short walk away, while the shaded trails of Chapultepec Park begin just to the south.
The rooms
Beige plaster walls and pale timber keep the bedrooms spare, with room numbers etched directly into the stone flooring.
At the table
Gramo pours espresso and pour-over coffee beneath a grid lightbox ceiling, with fresh pan dulce set out for breakfast.
