Atemporal
The renovation of this Tudor-like mansion began with a clear objective: to protect the cultural heritage of Miraflores. Thus, the architect Jordi Puig and the experience-designer Sandra Masías reconfigured the building to transform it into Atemporal, a small city-escape retreat with eclectic airs and a family spirit. The house finds its balance through the juxtaposition of the traditional, with the modern touches and colorful details.
The landscape frames the classic elegance of the house, with a proposal of European airs and typical touches of the Peruvian coast. But, also, a delicate contrast between the gray tones of the facade and the lilac salvias of the front garden.
Location: Miraflores, Lima, Peru
