Public notaries in Mexico provide advisory services and legal representation before courts of law and administrative agencies, which their offices routinely reflect. For the Oaxaca office of Notaria 104, the two-floor, 7,778-sq.ft. (710-sq.-m.) space, designed by zva Interiores, also acknowledges Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s most historic and cultural cities. The half open and half enclosed work areas satisfy the need for privacy. Yet the environment reaches out to its surroundings, thanks to creative use of color, lighting, plants, and such finishes as wood, stone and carpet.
