Casa JK

Discover Casa JK, a serene and transformative home created from a ruined henequen hacienda near Mérida, Yucatán.
Discover what makes it uniqueA ruined henequen hacienda on the outskirts of Mérida was the site chosen by Julia, a fantastic American woman, a lover of Yucatán and baseball, who made the Mayab her home. The house's program is simple: basic interior spaces in a clear and direct relationship with the exterior. Amidst the pool, terraces, and gardens that seem infinite, the house flows from its serene interiors toward almost untamed exteriors that mutate with the hours and with the days, offering changing and unexpected experiences of light, with a sun that seems to set the sky ablaze, or of gloom and darkness with skies filled with stars. |
