Contemporary Renewal Fused with Historic Charm | Casa Pakaal

ByMyProperty Life

Casa Pakaal blends historic charm with contemporary design in the heart of Mérida, Mexico. Revitalized by Workshop Architects, the residence preserves its original stone walls and wooden beams while integrating modern elements like chukum finishes, custom pasta tile floors, and open-air living spaces. A lush courtyard with a pool and wooden deck serves as the heart of the home, connecting restored and new volumes. The design respects the existing vegetation, incorporating private and social areas around century-old trees.

    Area: 240 m2
    Location: Zapopan, Jalisco
    Project date: 2018
    Construction date: 2018-2019 The renovation and extension of this hermetic and rigorous house to transform it into a place of contemplation and enjoyment of the landscape had, as a guiding principle, the idea of the garden as scenario.The activities that were already happening in the house, as well as those new added to the architectural program have been organized and oriented looking for a more intimate relation from the inside outwards. Three gardens, three scenarios, three expressions. We have designed a grid of full and empty spaces, where to contemplate, wander around and just be part of them, is equally enjoyable, creating a fusion between the being and dwelling. We have chosen neutral materiality and geometry for the corridors, terraces, and indoor spaces, to enhance the presence of the Three Gardens.
