在梅里达历史悠久的市中心,离Paseo de Montejo的Canton Palace只有几步之遥,我们找到了Casa Canela,一栋上世纪初的殖民时期的房子,在它严肃的外表下,有一个现代的两居室住所。走进绿色的大门,哈维尔-马林(Javier Marin)创作的一个壮观的雕塑欢迎你。它位于房间的正中央,在一盏简单的吊灯和原来的绿色横梁下,被石墙和仿古的白色面砖所包围。继而来到厨房,我们可以看到门周围古老的绿色框架和一幅伊莎贝尔-加菲亚斯的画。

In the heart of Merida’s historic downtown, just a few steps away from the Canton Palace in Paseo de Montejo, we find Casa Canela, a colonial house from the beginning of last century, that holds behind its sober façade, a contemporary 2-bedroom residence. Walking through the green doors, a spectacular sculpture by Javier Marin welcomes you. Located right in the middle of the room, under a simple hanging lamp and the original green beams, surrounded by the stone walls and antique white pasta tiles. Following to the kitchen, we can see the old green frames around the doors and a painting by Isabel Garfias.

在中间,在一张不大的扎拉姆木桌子上,挂着3盏粘土木灯。橱柜复制了原始木制品的绿色色调。在面砖背板上,不同的装饰品和厨房用具与费尔南多-安德亚奇的两件作品共享空间。两扇玻璃门通向有顶的阳台,那里有用餐区和佩德罗-弗里德伯格的作品。

In the middle, over a modest table of tzalam wood, hang 3 claywood lamps. The cabinets replicate the shades of green of the original woodwork. Over the pasta tile backsplash, different ornaments and kitchen utensils share the space with two pieces by Fernando Andriacci. Two glass doors lead to the covered terrace, which holds the dining area and a Pedro Friedeberg piece.

一个半点拱门框住了中间的花园,周围是茂盛的植被和不同岩石纹理的高墙。一个小水池位于空间的中间。楼下的卧室具有更多的现代风格,它的床头板是用传统的面砖制作的,大的推拉窗面向花园。

A Half point arch frames the middle garden, that is surrounded by lush vegetation and tall walls of different rock texture. A small pool is located in the middle of the space. With a more contemporary style, the bedroom downstairs has a headboard made with traditional pasta tile and big sliding windows facing the gardens.

床头挂着Galeria Urbana的另一件Friedeberg作品。楼上的卧室与下面的卧室有相同的布局,但有一个前阳台。室外楼梯的形状取自当地建筑的传统楼梯。卡内拉之家旨在尊重尤卡坦殖民地建筑的历史价值,以一种纯粹和清醒的方式,结合现代细节和当前生活方式的舒适性,以便在城市中间创造一个小绿洲。

Another Friedeberg piece by Galeria Urbana is hung over the bed. The upstairs bedroom has the same layout as the one below, but with a front terrace. The outdoor stairs takes its shape from the traditional staircase of local architecture. Casa Canela aims to respect and honor the historic values of colonial architecture of Yucatan, in a pure and sober way, combining with contemporary details and comfort of current lifestyle in order to create a small oasis in the middle of the city.
