Scott House, Mérida

Casa Scott is an old house located in Merida, Yucatan, which has been restored and renovated with the intention of preserving its history and personality. Minimal changes were made to the interior to achieve adequate natural lighting and ventilation. The living room, kitchen and dining room are areas with great potential that were enhanced to show their beauty, and an open connection was created between these spaces and the large window that overlooks the terrace to create a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

The distribution of the house was modified to make it more functional and adapted to the needs of the family that would inhabit it, and the house is developed on a single level to make it more accessible. There are two bedrooms in the house, the main one has a view towards the street and a reading space next to the window to allow interaction between the interior and exterior. The guest room has a direct connection to the terrace to favor indoor-outdoor interaction and create a more open and spacious environment.

The harmonious relationship between the interior and exterior of the property is what makes Casa Scott an oasis in the heart of Merida. The pool is a temperature regulator that, in combination with the wind, helps to cool the environment on the hottest days, and together with the selection of textures, color palette and vegetation, contributes to create a relaxed and refreshing atmosphere. The kitchen in minimalist style is open and serves as the link between the room, dining room and terrace to create a warm and cozy atmosphere for the residents of the house.
