The interior design project centers around a collaborative commercial space that merges two distinct businesses: Lapofenia, a cozy coffee shop, and Musiclab, a record store. Lapofenia is located on Alfonso Reyes Avenue, while Musiclab is in San Pedro Garza García. The design aims to create a multifunctional space that appeals to coffee lovers, music enthusiasts, and those seeking a place to relax or socialize.

The space is thoughtfully divided into distinct zones, including a café, bar, seating areas, a coffee shop section, a turntable and record store, and restrooms. The design focuses on creating a seamless flow between these areas, providing both privacy for longer stays and convenient access for quick visits.

Key architectural elements include carefully selected furniture, bespoke lighting fixtures, and custom finishes, all contributing to a modern yet inviting ambiance. The project also features visual renderings and detailed floor plans to ensure that every aspect of the space is carefully planned, balancing aesthetics and functionality.
