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 is a perfect oasis of tranquility surrounded by nature and pastel colors, inviting us to take a journey to a simpler time.
