Cuaik | CDS has shared photos of an apartment interior they designed in Ciudad De México, Mexico, that uses hidden lighting to create a warm atmosphere.
Working together with Grupo Cuarit, the designers infused the space with bespoke wood carpentry and thoughtful illumination. In the entrance hallway, visitors are immediately greeted by a sculpture by K de Kilo, crafted from mango tree wood.
