Working in harmony with architect Antonio Farre’s vision of interconnected, wall free spaces, Elena Talavera Studio embraced the concept of minimalism and flow, resulting in an interior that is both serene and expressive.

The home was conceived with a poetic idea, that it “was born without an owner,” and only once it found the right inhabitants did each area begin to evolve. Elena Talavera Studio responded to this narrative by grounding the design in a palette drawn from the predominant stone, using marble inspired shades to bring coherence and warmth to the open plan layout.
This considered approach is especially evident in the living and dining areas. Originally intended to share one space, the dining area was relocated to a more expansive room, and the table positioned to create a foyer like ambiance. This change not only improved functionality but also gave diners a sense of intimacy. The living room, meanwhile, was designed with a bar and swivel chairs that allow for fluid interaction between spaces.
Furniture throughout the home reflects a timeless, eclectic sensibility. Elena Talavera Studio carefully balanced classic design lines with culturally rooted Mexican pieces, while also incorporating Italian, American, and English elements. Sculptural lighting and bold wall art further enrich the layered aesthetic.
A notable feature in the bedroom is a virtual axis that directs all activity toward a unified visual point, reinforcing the home’s sense of intentionality. Respectful of its surroundings, yet fully unique, Casa Ciclón stands as a testament to Elena Talavera Studio’s ability to translate architectural language into deeply personal, harmonious interiors.
