Meet Carlos Couturier, Co-founder of Grupo Habita, Mexico City

Are there early signs to know that a location will be the next “destination”?

Yes. It starts with word of mouth. A certain ‘crowd‘ arrives early (bohemians, creatives, visionaries). The place must be authentic, fresh, untouched.

Can you tell us about your vision in terms of interior design?

Our vision is dynamic. We follow our instincts. We like working with emerging talents in all creative fields (architecture, design, music, food, culture).

Is there a piece in one of your locations that has a special meaning to you?

Not really. Every location is special. It is ‘the whole‘ that holds the meaning.

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned since your first project?

Consistency.

What has this year changed for you and your vision for Grupo Habita?

A better understanding of nature. Of simple life. The real meaning of humility.
