Casa Xcumpich merges local tradition with contemporary design<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located in the northern area of M\u00e9rida, Yucat\u00e1n<\/a><\/strong>, Casa Xcumpich, designed by Taller Mexicano de Arquitectura, seeks to reinterpret its context through a contemporary style. Also known by the Mayan word Chac, due to the reddish color of its walls, the residence<\/a><\/strong> aims to integrate at the pedestrian level with the neighboring residential typologies. The project, like those traditional typologies, seeks to replicate the functional dynamics of a small village house, taking advantage of its orientation to capture natural ventilation and lighting. To achieve this, the team employs a lattice as one of the project\u2019s key elements. It serves a dual purpose: it ventilates and provides indirect light, while also creating a connection to the park in front of the house without overexposing the residents\u2019 privacy. The ground floor opens to the exterior from the common area in an open-plan layout, extending the views to the edge of the property. This design allows it to function as a large covered space, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n

Taller Mexicano de Arquitectura combines craft and context<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enclosed areas within Casa Xcumpich house the service rooms and a private textile workshop for the owner. The family room is sunken, using the level difference to integrate built-in furniture. The design team<\/a><\/strong> at Taller Mexicano de Arquitectura applies the same strategy for the area beneath the staircase, creating additional storage space for the kitchen. The upper floor is a cubic volume that contains the private areas of the house. Natural light streaming through the skylights becomes the central feature, with shifting shadows moving along the smooth chukum walls throughout the day, until nightfall. Both levels of the house are defined by variations in texture and tone of the pigmented cement walls, while all other fixed elements, such as countertops, stairs, floors, and bathtubs, are made of natural gray concrete, creating a material contrast throughout the home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
