ONE : ONE

One : One is a renovated polymer factory in the Yucatan State, Merida. Utilizing adaptive reuse techniques, this space has been transformed into a mixed-use community hub where local artist and craftsman can live and work, while also having a space to sell their craft in a mercado setting, while also supporting and enhancing the future of Merida for the coming decade. In addition to adaptive reuse strategies, many design elements were adapted and applied, which were influenced by the works of Luis Barragan. Large windows and skylights were used to maximize the amount of natural light that enters the building, and stained glass window frames were applied in order for visitors and residents to feel the difference when moving from one space to another.
