The Brutalist Penthouse is a 300m² two-level residence in Mexico City designed by award-winning design firm Barde vanVoltt, in collaboration with Mexican architect-contractor José Muniz and clients Tony Dominguez Gonzalez and Rafael Fajer.
When fashion designer Tony and writer Rafael met, they envisioned a brutalist sanctuary for themselves and their dogs. This penthouse became a deeply personal project shaped by their impeccable eye for design and creative worlds.
The home translates the concept of Warm Brutalism into an introspective, sculptural living environment defined by materiality, light, and atmosphere. Expansive living, kitchen, and dining areas unfold alongside a master suite with bathroom en-suite, a writing library, a walk-in dressing room, a cosy living area, and a rooftop terrace with gym, outdoor kitchen, plunge pool, and firepit overlooking the skyline.
Bold, monolithic architectural lines are softened by rounded corners, textured stucco walls, warm walnut carpentry, and sculptural stone elements. Stainless steel panels meet tactile surfaces, concrete floors contrast with soft textiles, and shifting daylight animates the interior throughout the day. Wooden shutters and curved volumes introduce a sense of stillness within the urban setting.
The upper floor reveals a writer's sanctuary and a serene retreat: a sun-soaked deck, gym, bbq area and firepit under the stars. A place where brutalist geometry meets the vast Mexico City horizon.
