CASA EL TURIX

Casa El Turix is a compact yet highly intentional architectural intervention in one of Mérida Centro’s most historically layered neighborhoods. Conceived as a work of urban–architectural acupuncture, the project was designed, built, and fully equipped by Adagio Arquitectos, one of Mexico’s most respected architectural studios, known for landmark projects such as the Gran Museo del Mundo Maya and Hacienda Xcanatún.

Located just two blocks from Parque de la Mejorada, the home sits within a zone shaped by centuries of urban evolution. The property preserves the original front bay (primera crujía) dating from the 18th–19th century, while introducing contemporary volumes toward the rear to maximize light, flow, and livability within the site’s narrow proportions.

The contrast between restored heritage and modern construction is handled with restraint and precision—celebrating scale, texture, and proportion rather than excess.
