Casa GP, a two-story residence located in Mérida, Mexico, was designed in 2020 by OWN. Located in the Yucatán Golf Club “Country Club” in the Yucatán peninsula, this stunning property offers spectacular views of the golf course and the magnificent surrounding trees.

The palette of materials selected for the project (Concrete, Wood, Steel and Glass) creates an elegant and subtle environment that provides users with an atmosphere of tranquility and peace.
