Renovation Project: Colonial Contemporary Residence in Valladolid, Yucatán
Casa Raíz: Located in the heart of Valladolid, Yucatán's Magical Town, this architectural intervention represents a complete renovation of a historic property. The project focuses on rescuing the building's original structure, preserving its essence despite numerous past alterations and changes in use.
The design seamlessly blends colonial style with contemporary touches, aiming to revitalize the space while staying true to the authenticity of the original construction. The project's concept is inspired by the classic layout of historic downtown homes, giving a central role to the courtyard, around which all areas unfold.
Ground Floor: Step into a vibrant social space where the living room, dining area and kitchen flow seamlessly into one expansive open-concept space. This design encourages effortless connection and shared moments. Beyond, the central courtyard beckons, offering a serene oasis with a terrace refreshing pool with hydromassage – perfect for relaxation or entertaining. Completing this level is a comfortable double bedroom, ideal for guests or family.
Upper Floor: Ascend to the upper level, a private retreat designed for ultimate comfort. Here, you'll find a well-appointed secondary bedroom with its own dedicated bathroom. The highlight is undoubtedly the master bedroom, a true sanctuary featuring a luxurious bathtub and an integrated, open-concept bathroom, creating a spa-like experience. Nestled between these private havens, a sun-drenched sundeck awaits, inviting you to bask in the glorious Yucatán sun.
Pasta Tiles: Authentic, these traditional tiles bring a touch of local charm and historical elegance to the floors.
Chukum Walls: Experience the natural beauty of chukum in a palette of natural, black, and olive green. This ancient Mayan stucco technique offers a unique, smooth, and durable finish.
Exposed Stone Walls: Original masonry walls reveal the timeless beauty of natural stone, celebrating the building's heritage and adding rich texture.
Dark Stained Oak Wood: Warm and sophisticated, the dark-stained oak carpentry provides a refined contrast, adding depth and character.
Calacatta White Quartz: Countertops are adorned with Calacatta White Quartz, offering a luxurious and durable surface with striking veining.
Medusa White Marble: Elegant Medusa White Marble accents provide a touch of classic sophistication.
Aged Gold Fixtures: Details and faucets in aged gold add a touch of vintage glamour and subtle luxury throughout the space.
