Modern Design | Casa Madri By Magaldi Studio

Over the past few weeks, there has been a trend of rustic luxury in our architecture department. Today we take a break from the rural side of things and take a look at a unique modern structure on the Yucatan Peninsula. Dubbed Casa Madri this beautiful home was designed and brought to life by Magaldi studio. The home is host to stunning features and brilliant attention to detail. The dwelling boasts open corridors, wooden screens, and concrete walls, which feature tree sap to increase water resistance.

The home is located in Mérida, built on an irregularly shaped, corner property. The structure comes designed for a childhood friend and his family, offering a design that fits the family’s needs flawlessly. The home also takes into account the region’s tropical climate. Speaking about the structure, the studio described it. The stated: “The sense of openness and minimalism achieved in this home seems to result from a cross-cultural synthesis of Japanese simplicity, European theoretical analysis and Mexican regionalism paired with a deep understanding of a unique client.”

Inside Casa Madri

The house boasts concrete forms that wrap a private courtyard. However, the home boasts a different type of courtyard, because large sections of the dwelling are above the site. The home features 6,000 square feet of space, containing the public areas on the ground level and bedrooms up above. Areas of the home are curved, while others boast sharp angles. There is no front door, a design influenced by the “freedom of movement characteristic of the client’s lifestyle.” The wooden screens seen throughout control the amount of sunlight entering the home. This helps keep the interior shaded and cool, reducing the need for air conditioning. The structure is nothing short of brilliant.

A beautiful modern design with unique features that will surely have you reevaluating your idea of the ‘dream home.’ Take a look inside this beautiful home in the images below and learn more from Magaldi Studio immediately.
