Casa GP: Elegant Materials & Tranquil Spaces

Casa GP: Elegant Materials & Tranquil Spaces

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 project was born from a collaboration between friendly firms and follows a line of sustainable and bioclimatic design. The design takes advantage of the natural lighting, with floor-to-ceiling windows covered by a dynamic facade, and uses ailerons on the slab of the bedrooms to reduce the interior temperature. 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.

Casa Lorena: Combining Traditional & Modern Elements

Casa Lorena: Combining Traditional & Modern Elements

Welcome to Casa Lorena, an exquisite house located in the historic downtown of Mérida, Mexico. It has been designed by Workshop: Diseño y Construcción in 2021, combining traditional and modern elements.

The house was once a large property from the beginning of the 20th century, however, it was divided several times and now consists of only 4.5 meters front. Yet, it’s still full of history and charm, with Decauville beams brought from France, white quartz central island, blue pasta tiles coverings, wooden roof structure with Marseille clay tiles, exposed stones and a small pool. Casa Lorena is a perfect oasis of tranquility surrounded by nature and pastel colors, inviting us to take a journey to a simpler time.
