In the heart of Merida’s historic downtown, just a few steps away from the Canton Palace in Paseo de Montejo, we find Casa Canela, a colonial house from the beginning of last century, that holds behind its sober façade, a contemporary 2-bedroom residence.
Walking through the green doors, a spectacular sculpture by Javier Marin welcomes you. Located right in the middle of the room, under a simple hanging lamp and the original green beams, surrounded by the stone walls and antique white pasta tiles.
Casa Entrelomas is a housing project located within a private gated community. It was commissioned by a young married couple with two children, interested in a contemporary lifestyle that is conveyed by the exposed materials, the overhang structure and cleared surfaces. The project is situated over 276 m2 of land and has a built area of 415 m2.
Privacy was a concern with the proximity to neighbors. All four facades are on narrow setbacks, drawing your attention indoors without sacrificing the natural lighting.
To the southwest of Mexico City is located the Monte Sinaí School, an institution of more than 60 years that has trained guys of all ages in their primary and secondary education. The design of the digital media library and the new cafeteria arose from the identification of an underused space of the school, a remaining area in the basement of the auditorium of approximately 4,000 m2 that was adjacent to the elementary building, the cafeteria and some computer rooms.
Adamant is a complex of 30 levels of mixed uses that is located in the city of Puebla in Mexico, specifically at the urban intersection of El Periférico and Via Atlixcayotl, becoming a leading sustainability project in the most important development area of the city.
The Building is located in Polanco, one of the centers of greatest urban intensity in Mexico City. It consists of 3 independent towers that are articulated to generate a central patio that allows the construction of a community space that constitutes the identity of the complex and is qualified by its friendly proportions for the scale of the building.
Affordable housing located in Mexico City, on an area of less than 30m2. The design is focused on making the spaces more efficient and flexible for the family as well as taking advantage of the best amount of natural light inside. The staircase plays a decisive role in the use of each square meter, so special emphasis was placed on it to reduce its dimensions without compromising its safety and accessibility.
Tlacotalpan 89 arises from the merger of two properties, approximately 475m2, in the Roma Sur neighborhood. Its location is essential both in mobility and in the architectural analysis, due to the real estate growth in the region and the demand for strong design. The merger of both these properties generated the ability to carry out different configurations for the apartments, open areas, parking lots and public areas.

The house is located in a hilltop of the East Cape (Laguna Hills), 9km away from the nearest infrastructure network (San Jose del Cabo) in an off the grid community. The horizontal profile of the building along with the rammed earth walls, blends the house into the landscape, very discrete from the dirt road that comes along the sea.
The CRA House is located within a residential country club in Avándaro, Estado de México. The country club, like many others in Mexico, establishes general design criteria and suggests, with emphasis, the use of specific forms and materials. Given the mountain character of the site, the regulation infers the need to preserve the rustic character of the place through architecture. In most cases, regulatory constraints are real challenges that are solved through analysis and design. In this case, the design of the house proves a stylistic hybridization on strategy, with the double purpose of giving continuity to the character of the whole, while at the same time articulating, in an alternative way, the different spaces and the program of the house.
This project consists of on the remodel of a two-level restaurant whose main objective was to redefine the image of the place and re-organize the existing architectural program.
