UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Located in Merida, Yucatan's Historic Center, Casa Lupita pays tribute to the classic colonial architecture of its historic neighborhoods. This project involved restoration as well as architectural, interior, furniture and landscape design.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This project injects new life into a historic site that was in disuse, integrating into its physical context and time.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: August 2018- October 2019

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Tradtional colonial building (vigueta and viguetilla, chukum, masonry walls) and new technologies (reinforced concrete, steel structures).
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Lot size: 11 x 30 m
Building area: 320 m2
TAGS: mexico, colonial, modern, restoration, contemporary
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In depth research of traditional building methods and materials were needed for the restoration aspect, as well as an understanding of the type of colonial architecture of the area and the norms and guidelines that were necessary to follow due to it being a historic site.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge presented for this project was the restoration and integration of the historic casona, and updating it to modern living. The original structure is protected as a heritage site, thereby having to abide by specific norms and guidelines. A combination of traditional artisanal building methods as well as modern construction were used to achieve the end result.

I am in awe of the genius of the design of Casa Lupita! The juxtaposition of colonial and contemporary architecture shows an impressive level of creativity and skill. To take an old, 19th century casona and restore it while also demolishing the 1960s add-on to create a traditional central patio layout is an incredible feat. It's a beautiful design that I'm sure will stand the test of time. Well done!
