CASA 57
CASA 57 | MANCERA ESTUDIO
An architectural gesture that listens to the past to give voice to the present.
Casa 57 emerges with the intention of recovering the essence of an abandoned colonial house in Mérida’s historic center and allowing the old and the new to meet.
The project began with the certainty that history had to be the starting point.
The original structure, with its double height ceilings and its hidden arch that once connected to the patio, was freed to restore its character. That arch became the conceptual and physical axis, functioning as an invisible line that guides the journey and connects memory with contemporary life.
Amid the vegetation and earth stands a stone structure that integrates itself not as a relic, but as a witness of time and a living part of the ensemble. The outdoor living area emerges as a threshold between the traditional and the contemporary a space where the house converges and finds calm.
This space leads to the T shaped pool that extends the patio’s axis, connects the bedrooms, and creates private terraces where shade and wind become the main protagonists.
The integration of the stone structure and the pool as an articulating element makes Casa 57 a singular project, where tradition and contemporaneity coexist without conflict. In this way, the extension generates a dialogue between clear volumes and serene proportions that respect the atmosphere of the place.
Materiality reinforces this fusion. Warm wood, pasta tiles that evoke memory, chukum that embraces the earth, and concrete that brings clarity and permanence; these elements form a bridge between what was and what is yet to come. The permanence of stone and the transparency of the new volumes merge into an architecture that accompanies life.
The importance of restoration lies in returning to the house its ability to be inhabited today, without erasing the presence of the past. Casa 57 is not a mere sum of rooms. Casa 57 is more than a restoration. It is a meeting of times, a result of an architectural gesture that listens to the past to give voice to the present.
