Reyes Rios Larrain: Place, Material

Reyes Ríos + Larraín is an architecture studio founded by Salvador Reyes Ríos and Josefina Larraín in Mérida, Yucatán. They are best known for their sensitive restoration of old mansions and haciendas in the state of Yucatán and other parts of Mexico, which have been converted into hotels or private homes. Their work has set the standard for colonial remodeling in Mexico. This book presents the practice’s exploration of construction systems, materials and finishes in their conversion projects. It also includes buildings built from scratch using traditional construction techniques, and examples of the studio’s furniture design.
