Velas
Resorts' Interior Designer Melín Castro Ardavín Receives 2014 Merit Award
From
the Association of Furniture Manufacturers of Jalisco
 Riviera
Nayarit, Mexico (September 9, 2014) – Melín Castro Ardavín
has received the Merit Award for Interior Design from
the Association of Furniture Manufacturers of Jalisco (AFAMJAL).
Recognizing the most prominent interior designers in Mexico, primarily in the
hospitality industry, the award was bestowed on Melín Castro for her
excellent outstanding career achievements and contributions to numerous
various projects. Among them are the interior design and branding of Velas
Resorts in Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya and Riviera Nayarit, which have been
recognized for their sophisticated and dramatic interior design with a strong
sense of place. The award was presented on August 15, 2014 at the first
National Interior Design Meeting by AFAMJAL. The event took place at Expo
Guadalajara Convention Center in Guadalajara, Mexico.
 "Casa
Velas, Velas Vallarta, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit andGrand
Velas Riviera Maya were a milestone in my designs," said Melín Castro, owner
of MC
Design. "Each
resort has its own unique identity however it was important with all to match
the color palette, materials and textiles with the natural surroundings. The
land where they built Grand Velas Riviera Maya is protected by environmental
laws because 60% is jungle and 40% is intact mangroves; the décor scheme
I used meshes the beauty of the two environments."
One of the main
characteristics of Melín Castro's work is the perfect combination of
contemporary style and the integration of items and furniture that blend
harmoniously with the natural environment, colors and spaces around them. She
has received multiple awards for her work from international organizations,
such as the International Forum of Women in Architecture, Design and
Landscape and the International Biennial CIDI of Interior Design in addition
to special recognitions from magazines such as Architectural Digest Mexico.
