Casa Picasso: Cheerful Holiday Home in Yucatan Makes Most of Limited Space

ByMyProperty Life

Relaxing, fun-filled and full of sunshine that many other parts of the North American continent starve of in the long, cold winter months, the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is a holiday that is not far away for many. And it is here that we find the incredibly resourceful, charming and relaxing Casa Picasso. Deriving its name from a work of art by the master himself displayed in the bedroom of this gorgeous holiday home, the entire setting was conceptualized and brought to life by Workshop. As narrow as just 3 meters at certain spots, this Mexican retreat clad in white perfectly epitomizes a vacation in bustling Yucatan.

Gorgeous green private yard of the holiday home with pool

As you step into this getaway that offers a safe and serene refuge from the constant rush all around, you will see a small living area in white that is enlivened by the colorful rug and the art work on the wall. Next to it is the staircase that leads to the bedroom on the upper level and also offers additional storage space below. Illuminated by lovely LED lights, the wooden staircase stands in contrast to an otherwise entirely white and neutral living space. Next to it is the bedroom and bathroom that provide a tranquil resting space and are connected to the amazing pool area outside.

    Located on a small lot in Downtown Toronto, the owners of this new three storey residence desired a peaceful urban retreat, purposefully tailored to nurture and enhance a close communal family life and their enjoyment of the outdoors. The response is a highly personalized expression of one small family’s particular lifestyle. At ground level, a back-split condition responds to the natural slope of the site. An adventurous sectional arrangement continues vertically upward, with additional split levels arranged around a 3-storey light well, drawing sunlight (and moonlight) deep into the house. A home office occupies the light well, with views to the living room above, and a library space below. What would typically be the dark middle of the house is bathed in sunlight and enjoys a feeling of expansive vertical space. The various regions of the home are all closely knit together across this interior light well, creating an interesting balance between separation and intimacy: While the family may be individually occupied with remote activities (cooking, lounging, working, playing), they are always quickly and easily engaged with one another. The three principal living spaces (Living room, Kitchen/ Dining area, Library) also expand outwards, into separate exterior areas, each with its own unique and complementary character. At ground level, an arrangement of subtle level changes and low partitions gradually increase the degree of privacy as one moves from the street, through the interior, and into a secluded, forested back garden. The third floor living room – an urbanized version of a cabin in the woods with wood stove and cedar ceiling – nestles intimately into tree tops at one end, and opens widely toward the sky at the other. An upper level outdoor terrace offers easy enjoyment of the city skyline, urban tree canopy, sunsets, and the night sky. The house is thus organized around three principal axes which connect the interior with the outdoors: a ground level Garden Axis, a third level Sky Axis, and a vertical Sun Axis.
