O House, designed by Reyes Rosiñol in downtown Mérida, Mexico, creatively incorporates a guaya tree as the central element of its design, showcasing the fusion of Maya and Spanish architectural traditions. The layout revolves around a central axis that echoes the traditional 'sacbé' or 'white road,' culminating in a reflective circular body of water. Utilizing native materials, the house features solid volumes and adapts to the natural landscape, reinforcing its connection with the surrounding environment and promoting dialogue with regional heritage.
The house's layout is organized around a central axis, inspired by the Maya 'sacbé' or 'white road,' which extends from the entrance to the guaya tree.
The placement of built elements prioritizes orientation and views, following principles found in ancient Maya settlements.
The architectural program includes four bedrooms-one main and three guest rooms-along with public spaces such as terraces, a multi-purpose area, and a kitchen.
The project consists of solid volumes composed of materials native to the region, including sascab (white soil) and kankab (red soil).
