Casa O by Reyes Rosiñol

In Mérida, Mexico, architect Reyes Rosiñol has designed a house, named Casa O, that represents the syncretism between the worldview of the Maya civilization and the ideas brought by the Spanish. The design features a central “sacbé,” or “white road,” that connects spaces, embraces a guaya tree, and is crowned with a circular pool, all of which reflect the region’s cultural identity over time.
