The Hacienda Yucatán, originally built in the 19th century, was remodeled with a simplistic decorative touch featuring beautiful high ceilings and white spaces. Nestled in the middle of the jungle, it offers incredible views that make you feel deeply connected to nature.

Yucatán is famous for its henequen haciendas. The industry collapsed with the invention of plastic, leading to the abandonment of many of them. This project rescued one of those farms, transforming it into an ideal weekend house paradise. The remodeling of the hacienda was designed with user comfort in mind; materials from the region were used to preserve the history of the site. Sustainability was an essential aspect of the remodeling.

The use of passive lighting and ventilation strategies allowed the space to have the least possible impact on the region. The project established new functions for the old construction, preserving all the original elements and combining them with contemporary uses and features. The site is located in 160 hectares of jungle, meaning the design included a progressive environmental process to prevent natural deterioration over the years. The result is a theatrical experience that blends past glamour with the comforts of contemporary living.
