Casa Gruta, located in the Sisal neighborhood of Valladolid, Yucatán, is an architectural project designed by architects Salvador Román Hernández and Adela Mortera Villarreal. This space seeks to explore the perception, scale, and materiality of spaces through a plastic and architectural approach that evokes the sensation of a refuge, reminiscent of a cave. The work invites reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the relationship between the ephemeral and the eternal through the use of light and shadow, and the interaction between new and pre-existing structures.
The house is conceived as a contemporary habitable sculpture, inspired by the geological formations characteristic of the Yucatán Peninsula, such as caves, grottos, and cenotes. Its simplified materiality is based on the colors and textures found in these natural environments. The green-gray pigmented concrete used on the façades changes its saturation with the passage of the sun, creating a dynamic atmosphere. The contrast is provided with the interior design by Pau Román, natural cedar wood, which refers to the local vegetation, and the golden hardware that alludes to the minerals present in the earth.
The design of the house is inspired by the arrangement of cenotes and caves, where tunnels, vaults, and clearings guide the user's sensory experience. Spaces open or close, offering different sensations along the journey. The entrance is marked by a poplar tree, which in Yucatán traditionally signals the proximity of underground formations, leading to an outdoor foyer where there is a body of water intervened by Andrés Briceño. This element references the pre-entrance rituals of the Mayan people to cenotes.
The journey continues through a tunnel that leads to the main distributor of the house. The first space is a room with a private patio, an outdoor shower, and a body of water. As one moves forward, the tunnel opens up to a common area that includes the living room, dining room, and kitchen, all under a hammered concrete vault. This space culminates in a large cylinder that houses the staircase to the rooftop, a recreational space with a viewpoint to contemplate the landscape.
On the ground floor, the house has two additional rooms. One of them, more private, features a contemplative patio with sculptures and vegetation. The master bedroom, the largest, ends in an interior patio with a cylindrical body of water, next to a pre-existing flamboyant tree that creates plays of light and shadow.
Casa Gruta is a refuge that invites introspection and reflection on the fast-paced nature of contemporary life, serving as a space for contemplation and connection with time.
