Embracing Beach Style in Acapulco: Delightful Home in Aqua and Turquoise

ByMyProperty Life

The city of Acapulco is renowned for its sand, surf and good times all around. It is a city where many tourists flock to enjoy the unending coastline and with it a chance to get a good tan! But we head to this Mexican city today to take a look at Departamento JM; a home that was revamped and given a fresh new look by Weber Arquitectos. The interior of this apartment overlooking the Pacific was previously draped in colors like beige and chocolate before its new owners asked for a color palette that was more befitting of the neighborhood it sits in. A shift towards modern beach style saw the apartment’s overhauled interior being draped in white, aqua, turquoise and light, white woods that epitomize life next to the ocean.

Entry with brilliant accent wall in aqua along with fabulous sconce lights makes a big visual impact








Step into the apartment and the first thing you notice is a brilliant Aqua and turquoise accent wall that is illuminated by sconce lights that act as artistic pieces. The entry sets the tone for rest of the house with latticework in wood separating the two. The open plan living area contains the kitchen and dining room as well and next to it is one of the terraces that offers unabated views of the Pacific which is just a stone’s throw away. With pops of orange, turquoise and aqua all around, there is no lack of brightness inside this Mexican apartment.

  • Villa Kivi

    VILLA KIVI Villa Kivi is a new generation log home on a tiny island in Finnish archipelago designed for himself by Finnish designer Vertti Kivi. Polar Life Haus, a Finnish wooden house manufacturer, was quick to pick it up for their collection. ‘The whole development process of the house was guided by our goal to bring the interior of the house together with the spectacular surroundings. We wanted to be part of sunset, snowstorm and even autumn storm on his tiny island in Finnish archipelago’, tells designer Vertti Kivi, the head of dSign Vertti Kivi & Co. ‘The starting point was a clear glass cube but we ended up creating glass walls reaching from the floor level up to the ceiling only to three sides of the structure. The north side with its separate sleeping rooms and bathroom is constructed of massive black wood beams that are in clear contrast to the glass and create feeling of cosyness and safety. Large terraces in one level create a sense of continuity between inside and outside. The floor plan is defined by Scandinavian clearness. The heart of the villa is the kitchen, located next to the entrance, and from there you can see the entire open interior and the surrounding sea. We like to think the kitchen island is like a DJ’s desk – the atmosphere of the whole interior space is created right there with the remote controlled lighting system. To guarantee the privacy of the bedrooms, they are located in the outermost corners of the villa, separate from each other. They too have one wall completely made of glass. An extra attention is paid on the details of the villa. Not a single molding can be found in the entire building. The doors have a hidden frame and they too reach from the floor to the ceiling. Drama and strong feeling are created by massive wooden surfaces and their color choices – snow white lacquer on the floor creates a contrast to the dark walls. To make the battened external walls coal black, we developed a special technique based on hundreds of years old Japanese traditions. In the evening, the atmosphere changes with different lighting schemes that can be timed to be in sync with nature. The end result is a clean-lined building in Scandinavian style which can be adapted to different needs and locations. It has a strong Finnish presence.
