San Ángel is the controlled renovation of a 35-year-old kitchen, defined by precision and material discipline.

The intervention preserves the original spatial logic while integrating high-performance appliances within a coherent architectural system. Custom oak cabinetry structures the space, resolving storage, surfaces, and appliances through continuous millwork and restrained detailing.

Integrated lighting and concealed storage maintain visual clarity, while a glazed wine cabinet introduces depth without disrupting the composition.

The project operates through calibrated adjustments rather than formal gestures—prioritizing proportion, performance, and material integrity.
