Workshop, Diseño y Construcción as Architects

This project, located in the historic downtown of Merida, Yucatan, has been restored by Workshop architects. 


The original house had 4 rooms and the front yard. This spaces were transformed into the Foyer, Guest bedroom with a bathroom and the Living room. The wooden beams and the angled door frames were taken back to life with a pastel color scheme, natural wood furniture and discreet light fixtures. The art pieces complete the young and sophisticated atmosophere.


The kitchen space opens to the main Patio. The colors and materials are used in a more contemporary way but with a continuity from the main house.


A very lush garden with beautiful fruit trees give the freshness that Merida's hot weather needs.
