La Posmoderna, a residence in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, is a renovation and extension that transformed a 1980s home with a complex and outdated floor plan and inadequate conditions into a contemporary space that incorporates tropical elements and promotes family interaction.
The renovation prioritized spaciousness, illumination, and ventilation, addressing the challenges of the prior layout through a reorganizationplan.
In the pursuit of sustainable design, La Posmoderna prioritized minimal intervention and eco-friendly materials. Exterior floors and studio walls were made with clay bricks, and the kitchen was clad with matching tiles of the same material. Most walls retained their original finish, with only minor changes in paint.
Certain architectural elements, such as some ironwork windows and doors, entrance columns, and concrete cubes on the terrace were preserved, uniting the old with the new.
La Posmoderna is an expression of adaptation to the environment, offering a visual and sensory engaging experience, a home where architecture and life merge.
