Clásico Contemporáneo

Located in the Almagro neighborhood, Clásico Contemporáneo is a proposal where the memory of the place meets the needs of the present.

As a starting point, we were faced with a home whose original layout excessively fragmented the rooms, creating compartmentalized spaces and an overall sense of darkness. The lack of visual connection and the rigidity of the initial scheme prevented natural light from flowing freely, limiting both the sense of spaciousness and the overall living experience.

The project therefore begins with a comprehensive reconfiguration of the space. Unnecessary barriers were removed and circulation was redefined to enhance visual and functional continuity between the different areas. The result is an open, luminous, and balanced home where each room breathes and engages in dialogue with the whole.

The kitchen, conceived as the true heart of the home, opens onto the living room and is organized around a central island that acts as a structural axis. It becomes both a gathering point and the focal element of the space, reinforcing the idea of shared living and everyday dynamism.

From an aesthetic perspective, the project seeks a harmonious dialogue between the classical and the contemporary. Carefully integrated moldings, character-rich marbles, and warm-toned woods evoke the timeless elegance of traditional architecture. These elements coexist with cleaner lines and contemporary solutions, achieving a precise balance between history and modernity.

The result is a home that preserves its classical essence while being reinterpreted through a contemporary lens: a luminous space designed to adapt to modern living without renouncing its identity.

Project carried out in collaboration with Agustín Scagliotti.

María de Leste

Interior architect

I am an interior architect specializing in the creation of spaces where wellbeing, functionality, and beauty coexist effortlessly.

My work is rooted in a deep understanding of each individual, each need, and each way of inhabiting a space. My sensitivity to interiors comes from a family heritage: a lineage of women with a remarkable aesthetic sensibility who awakened, from an early age, my eye for beauty and my passion for design.

From this emerges a distinctive vision — serene, timeless, and deeply personal — capable of interpreting a variety of styles, whether classical, contemporary, or countryside-inspired, and transforming them into harmonious, elegant interiors with a strong sense of identity, always in dialogue with the essence of those who live within them.

Architect

I am Paloma Ibarra, architect and founder of Estudio Ibarra.

Since childhood, I have always associated home with happiness.

I hold vivid memories of every corner of the house where I grew up, the home where I spent my summers, and the houses of family and friends…

As I grew older, I found myself collecting images of spaces that deeply moved me.

They all shared one common quality: they inspired happiness.

Estudio Ibarra bears my family name, and that is precisely what I want our atelier to become for you: a family whose greatest purpose is to help you create a home in which to truly feel happy.
