Casa de Abejas是一个位于墨西哥梅里达市中心的单户住宅;离标志性的Paseo de Montejo只有几米远。通过对现有建筑的再利用和改进,该干预措施有助于保护该地区的住房用途。

Casa de Abejas is a single-family home located in the downtown of Mérida, Mexico; a few meters away from the emblematic Paseo de Montejo. The intervention contributes to the conservation of housing uses in the area through the reuse and improvement of existing construction.

我们的目标是在城市中建筑密度最高的地区之一,通过整合该地产的自然和建筑的前期存在,实现一个与自然接触的朴素的避难所。

The objective was to achieve an austere refuge in contact with nature within one of the areas with the highest construction density in the city, through the integration of the natural and built pre-existence of the property.

与该地区的许多干预措施不同,这个项目没有一个旧的建筑。当我们访问该物业时,我们发现底层有一个黑暗的工作空间,在那里进行与蜂蜜有关的活动,上层有一个高度很大的工作室/车间,是10年前扩建的产物。

Unlike many interventions in the area, this one did not have an old building. When we visited the property, we found a dark work space on the ground floor where honey-related activities were carried out, and a generously-height studio/workshop on the upper floor, product of an extension made 10 years ago.

建筑方案包括支撑工作室,以拆除底层的隔墙,从而最大限度地捕捉光线并与外部连接;放置一些支撑上层负荷的横梁,并将其分配到相邻的墙壁上,产生一个开放的平面图,房子的最公共区域被开发出来;在现有树木未占用的区域,将新的可居住空间延伸到土地底部,最后通过一座桥将两座建筑连接起来。

The architectural proposal consisted of propping up the workshop to demolish the dividing walls of the ground floor and thus maximize light capture and connections to the outside; place some beams that support loads of the upper floor and distribute them to the adjoining walls, generating an open floor plan where the most public areas of the house were developed; extend to the bottom of the land the new habitable spaces in the areas not occupied by the existing trees, and finally connect both buildings by means of a bridge.

该方案由前庭、楼上有独立通道的车间、一楼包含厨房、餐厅和下沉式房间的公共单间、中央天井、池塘、客人浴室、洗衣房、室内花园、客厅/露台、后院、烧烤、游泳池、带浴室的客房、楼梯间、书房、带浴室的主卧室以及与树顶相连的几个阳台组成。

The program is made up of a vestibular front patio, the upstairs workshop with independent access, a public monospace on the ground floor that contains the kitchen, the dining room, and a sunken room; central patio, pond, guest bathroom, laundry, interior garden, living room/terrace, backyard, barbecue, swimming pool, guest room with bathroom, stairwell, study, master bedroom with bathroom, and several balconies that connect with the treetops.

建筑系统是承重墙、金属和混凝土柱以及梁的混合体。饰面是单色的和明显的,以减少维护成本,并为居民的艺术和家具收藏形成一个中性基础。墙壁和天花板(内部和外部)采用灰色灰泥,并有抛光处理。地面是灰色的混凝土,根据其位置的不同,有抛光和锤击的处理。外部路面是由可渗透的 “生态混凝土 “和白色碎石制成。以同样的方式,预先存在的石砌和明显的块状墙被整合,体现了场地的记忆。

The construction system is a hybrid between load-bearing walls, metal and concrete columns, and beams. The finishes are monochromatic and apparent, in order to reduce maintenance costs and to form a neutral base for the inhabitants’ art and furniture collection. The walls and ceilings (interior and exterior) have gray stucco with a burnished finish. The floors are gray concrete with a polished and hammered finish, depending on its location. The exterior pavements are made of permeable “eco-concrete” and white gravel. In the same way, pre-existing stone masonry and apparent block walls were integrated that manifest the memory of the site.

室外区域由一系列带有固定家具的功能天井界定,引发用户与自然的日常互动。

The outdoor areas are defined by a series of functional patios with fixed furniture that provoke the daily interaction of users with nature.
