Casa Lorena位于墨西哥梅里达的历史中心，是20世纪初的房子的一部分，该房产已被分割多次，直到达到目前的尺寸，只有4.5米的正面，是原来的四分之一。房子有一个相对于街道和人行道的小凹陷，这在城市中心并不常见，这也创造了一个小的通道区域。穿过粉色调的外墙，我们进入一个小客厅，天花板超过5米高，仍然保留着在henequén（剑麻）时代从法国带来的Decauville横梁，它和木梁一起是那个时期建筑系统的一部分。
Casa Lorena is located in Mérida historic downtown in Mexico and is part of what was once a house from the beginning of the 20th century, the property has been divided several times until reaching its current dimensions with only 4.5 meters front, a quarter of its original size. The house has a small inset with respect to the street and the walkway, something not common to find in the center of the city, and which creates a small access area. Crossing the façade in pastel tones, we access a small living room, with ceilings over 5 meters high and which still preserves its Decauville beams brought from France in the henequén (sisal) era, and which were part of the construction system of that period, together with the wooden beams.
一个大拱门邀请你继续走向厨房，它有一个白色的石英中心岛和蓝色色调的面砖覆盖，整合了客厅里的梁的颜色。露台通过固定在旧木框上的钢化玻璃门融入厨房，产生了花园的景色，让自然光穿过它们。屋顶是一个木制结构，重新利用了原来在同一地方的马赛粘土瓦。在墙壁上，我们决定去掉所有的装饰，让石头暴露出来，与面砖地板的蓝色和粘土的红色形成美丽的对比。
A large arch invites you to continue the journey towards the kitchen, which has a white quartz central island and pasta tiles coverings in blue tones, integrating the colors of the beams in the living room.The terrace is integrated into the kitchen through tempered glass doors anchored to the old wooden frames, generating views of the gardens and allowing natural light to pass through them. The roof is a wooden structure that reuses the Marseille clay tiles that were on the property in that same place. On the walls, it was decided to remove all the finishing, leaving the stones exposed, creating a beautiful contrast with the blue color of the pasta tile floors and the red of the clay.El área privada de la casa cuenta con dos habitaciones, una en planta baja a la que se accede a través de un deck de madera y cuenta con un pequeño cubo de ventilación que se comunica con el baño, creando una sensación de amplitud.
房子的私人区域有两间卧室，其中一间在一楼，通过木质甲板进入，有一个小的通风立方体，与浴室沟通，创造了一种宽敞的感觉。这个区域有一个现代和动态的体积，用一组不同高度和不同功能的立方体来呈现，有蓝色色调的chukum饰面，被热带植被包围，一个小水池与白色水泥的楼梯和悬挂的花盆汇合，通向第二间卧室，它与第一层的卧室有相同的空间性。洛雷娜之家是城市中的一个小绿洲，它的历史和纹理吸引着我们，爱上了它的柔和色彩，把我们带到了过去和一个更简单的时代。
The private area of the house has two bedrooms, one on the ground floor which is accessed through a wooden deck and has a small ventilation cube that communicates with the bathroom, creating a feeling of spaciousness.This area has a modern and dynamic volume that is presented with a set of cubes at different heights and with different functions, has chukum finishes with blue tints, and is surrounded by tropical vegetation where a small pool converges with the stairs of white cement and the hanging planters that lead to the second bedroom, which has the same spatiality as the one on the first level. Casa Lorena is a small oasis within the city, that captivates us with its history and its textures, falling in love with its pastel colors and transporting us to the past and a simpler time.
