DVanguardia

DVanguardia is a Guatemala City firm combining architecture, interior design and lighting — a useful profile when a project needs coherence between the building shell, finishes and light. That combination matters most in homes and commercial premises where atmosphere depends as much on furniture as on architecture.

When commissioning an interior, define the materials palette, the desired level of daylight and pieces to keep or replace. Artificial lighting — colour temperature, scenes and focal points — should be decided alongside the plan, not at the end, to avoid improvised wiring.

Start with photographs of the space, approximate measurements and a budget for furniture and works. Ask for a phased proposal, material samples and a lighting plan before approving bespoke furniture or luminaire purchases.
