Ladera by Sulkin Askenazi
Ladera is a refined apartment in Mexico by Sulkin Askenazi, composed with a moody, tactile palette and broad views. The home opens toward greenery and distant towers, then turns inward to stone, wood, and darkened ceilings that steady the rooms. Sulkin Askenazi threads the project with careful lighting and tailored furnishings, building a confident domestic rhythm across living areas and bedrooms.
A broad opening draws the eye to treetops and skyline. Inside, tone shifts to stone, leather, and a near-black ceiling that cools the daylight and deepens contrast.
This is an apartment in Mexico by Sulkin Askenazi, organized for daily living against a generous terrace and long horizon. The throughline is material and mood: a measured interior palette that ties stone, wood, metal, and soft upholstery into one calm sequence.
Set the Tone
The main room reads as a tactile landscape, with a rough stone wall and slim rails that hold small plants and art. Flooring runs in large concrete-like panels divided by gravel joints, giving gentle texture underfoot and guiding movement toward the terrace. Seating is low and plush, finished in pale textiles against dark leather stools. A black ceiling compresses the volume; a perimeter light cut lines the edge and warms the stone.
Open to the View
A wide aperture slides to an outdoor room with dining and lounge pieces, protected by a deep overhang. The threshold is almost level, so living spills outside for meals above the trees and evening air. On the terrace, a circular table and lean chairs keep sightlines clear, while a grill niche sits to one side for casual cooking.
Dining, Then Hearth
Back inside, the dining area gathers around a dark rectilinear table beneath a slender, sculptural light. The wall mixes vertical timber boards with rock-faced stone, a deliberate pairing that balances grain and roughness. Nearby, a secondary lounge frames the view with a long sofa, a matte media console, and a black steel shelving system that carries plants and objects without visual weight.
Kitchen in Monochrome
The kitchen runs deep and precise: dark cabinetry, integrated appliances, and stone counters with a thick-edged island. A lighter floor and a single window prevent gloom, while small downlights punctuate the ceiling like quiet markers. A cantilevered wood slab at the island forms a breakfast perch and softens the monolith.
Bedrooms by Hue
In the primary bedroom, a soft gray bed aligns to a stone headwall and a looping pendant that drops like a drawn line. A textured circular-pattern rug gathers the zone, and warm cove lighting slides along the wall for night reading. Two additional rooms take a bolder route: one in coral tones with matching millwork and ladder-like accents, the other in deep green with mirrored gestures, both with low platforms and integrated storage.
Baths in Balance
Bathrooms hold the palette steady with stone counters, twin oval mirrors, and matte black fittings. Soft sconces set a gentle glow, and a ribbon window lifts steam and light without sacrificing privacy.
As daylight fades, the apartment leans on its warm edges and fine grain. Stone, wood, and shadow steer the mood, while the terrace keeps the horizon close. The rooms stay quiet, and the view does the talking.
