Chapala Residence 01 — RFRM
An interior precedent by RFRM Collective showcasing symmetrical millwork and arched built-ins that frame a central processional view to a curving staircase.
- What we like about this project
- The central doorway acts as a second-stage frame, perfectly centering the curving balustrade of the background stair.

- Spatial experience
- The symmetrical foreground frames a clear axial view through the central portal to a curving stair hall beyond, establishing a sense of classical hierarchy.
