Description
Reyes Rios + Larrain is an architecture studio founded by Salvador Reyes Rios and Josefina Larrain in Merida, Yucatan. Reyes Rios + Larrain is best known for their sensitive restoration of old mansions and haciendas in the state of Yucatan 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. Exploring the studio's working methods through essays, sketches, photographs and models, this volume presents a thorough overview of the work of one of Mexico's leading architecture studios.
