Americas Residence

Merida, Mexico. 2009

Type > Residence / Remodeling / Addition

Surface > 4,500.00 SqFt.

GISELA BUENFIL WAS LIVING IN PORTUGAL WHEN SHE CONTACTED ME FOR HER DESIGN. SHE WANTED A CONTEMPORARY EUROPEAN-STYLE RESIDENCE. SHE PURCHASED A HOUSE IN MEXICO THAT NEEDED SOME ADAPTIONS.
LIKE THE ZACARIAS RESIDENCE, THE PROJECT INTEGRATES THE SOCIAL AREA IN A STRIP LOCATED AT THE WEST OF THE SITE. THIS EXPANSION PROVIDED FOR THE IDEAL POSITION FOR THE MASTER BEDROOM ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
A CONTINUOUS WALL MADE OF MACEDONIA, A YUCATECAN MARBLE STONE, UNITES THE WHOLE SOCIAL ZONE. ON THE SECOND FLOOR WE ADAPTED THE NEWLY-REMODELED ROOMS AND THE MASTER BEDROOM. WE EXPANDED THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF THEIR LIVESTYLE BY ADDING BALCONIES SO THAT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN UPSTAIRS/DOWNSTAIRS AND INSIDE/OUTSIDE LINKED TOGETHER BY VISUALS.
