Seventy years after the arrival of architect Mario Bianco in Peru, one of the houses that the Italian designed to give Lima a modern face is being brought to life by 51 Peruvian professionals in architecture, design, decoration and landscaping. The 37 rooms are housed in the building created in the 1950s in San Isidro. It has marked geometric lines on three floors, diamond-shaped skylights and avant-garde ceilings.
The proposal is to live in harmony with nature in a concrete city – a challenge that is also present in large Brazilian cities. The professionals go beyond incorporating greenery into spaces and mimic their environments, creating refuges. They propose a reflection on life priorities, consumption, time and the role of technology in everyday life.
The contrasts are striking in the use of colors, in warm and cold materials, in metallic appearances versus opaque textures. Art and culture also play a fundamental role, with references to Taoism, Buddhism, indigenous ethnicities and spirituality in general. Appearance and essence, natural and urban, material and immaterial are opposites that complement each other, showing that the secret of life lies in balance.
