Minimal Impact on the Surrounding Environment

Casa Itzimná in Mexico
Reyes Ríos + Larraín Arquitectos, Mexico


Located on the mexican peninsula of yucatan, this single storey structure uses a hybrid construction system to ensure a lightweight dwelling that has a minimal impact on the surrounding environment.

Casa Itzimná, designed by local practice reyes ríos + larraín arquitectos, combines the use of steel elements with cellular concrete, ensuring the creation of a sustainable and hospitable abode.

The home’s layout is articulated around an elongated kitchen-diner flanked with floor-to-ceiling glazing. A sheltered external terrace surrounds the property’s primary living accommodation, culminating in a sheltered patio, which encourages communal outdoor living.

An additional area of the home acts as a service area, while a garage provides enough space for three parked vehicles.
