As part of the course led by CÍVICO, our participation focused on rethinking shared spaces and how furniture can spark new ways of inhabiting together. The proposal responded to the specific context of the 20 de Noviembre Building in downtown Guadalajara—a living structure with an evolving use and layered history.

The challenge was to design a multifunctional piece of furniture for one of the building's studio apartments, addressing the shifting needs of its occupants. We envisioned a piece that could adapt: for working, resting, storing, and socializing. A structure that didn’t impose a single use, but instead supported different rhythms of life within a compact space.

Our proposal centered on honest materials, modular solutions, and a formal language that’s simple yet efficient. The design seeks to optimize space without overwhelming it, provide privacy without isolation, and—above all—encourage a flexible and shared daily life.

More than a furniture project, this exercise became a study on how design can be a vehicle for new forms of urban domesticity: more collective, more conscious, more human.
