Skoura住宅丨墨西哥丨Enekén Studio

由建筑师Miguel Tapia领导的Enekén Studio打造的Skoura住宅，是一座位于墨西哥尤卡坦州、面积115平方米的住宅项目。设计在一块狭长用地及原有建筑遗存之上展开，通过对气候的回应与空间效率的优化，营造出以大地色材料、开阔空间高度以及与自然环境紧密联系为特征的居住体验。项目灵感来源于摩洛哥斯库拉沙漠，将其温暖的橙色沙地色调转译为着色混凝土、chukum（玛雅传统饰面）以及花砖等材料语言。

Enekén Studio, led by architect Miguel Tapia, presents Casa Skoura, a 115 m² project in Yucatán, Mexico, that transforms a narrow lot and the remains of an old structure into an efficient, climate-responsive home defined by earthy materials, generous heights, and a deep connection to nature and its context. Taking inspiration from the Skoura desert in Morocco, the house embraces the warm orange tones of its sand, reinterpreting them through pigmented concrete, chukum (traditional Mayan finish) and pasta tiles.

Skoura住宅位于梅里达市中心之外，其鲜明的立面与富有几何感的室内空间形成独特气质。空间体验从一扇受玛雅遗址启发的入口门开始，进入由一棵大型鳄梨树遮蔽的庭院。室内的下沉式客厅借鉴摩洛哥低矮起居空间的形式，成为住宅的社交核心。在这里，尺度感被重新塑造——双坡屋顶由6米升至8米，带来强烈的空间张力与开阔感。一扇大尺度窗洞框景外部郁郁葱葱的绿植，使空间成为一个适于聚会、放松以及在雨中静观自然的宁静场所。

Located slightly away from the city center of Mérida, Casa Skoura distinguishes itself through a striking façade and a geometric, vibrant interior.The walkthrough begins with a front door inspired by Mayan ruins, leading into a patio shaded by a large avocado tree. Inside, the sunken living room with a conversation pit—inspired by low Moroccan lounges—becomes the social heart of the home. In this space, the perception of scale shifts, enhanced by the double-pitched roof rising from 6 to 8 meters, which creates a striking sense of spaciousness. A large window frames the lush greenery outside, establishing a tranquil environment for gathering, relaxing, and watching the rain through the generous openings.

延续Enekén Studio一贯的策略，项目保留了旧建筑的石墙。其中一面原有墙体成为关键的建筑元素，将客厅与餐厅分隔开来，同时将新结构嵌入场地记忆之中。

As with other Enekén Studio projects, the intervention preserves the existing stone walls of the old house. One of these original walls becomes a defining architectural element, visibly dividing the living and dining areas and embedding the new structure within the memory of the ruin.

从室内到景观的连续流动

A seamless flow from living to landscape

穿过这面旧墙，厨房与餐厅空间展开，并以雕塑化的方式进行设计。厨房岛台被塑造为一件独立家具，并延伸为一张长桌直达露台，模糊了室内与室外的界限。高位方窗在一天中不断变化光影，大尺度推拉门可完全打开，实现穿堂通风，并保持与外部空间的连续联系。

Passing the old wall, the kitchen and dining area unfold, designed with a sculptural approach. The kitchen island, conceived to resemble a freestanding piece of furniture, extends into a long table that reaches the terrace, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior. A high square window plays with sunlight throughout the day, while the large sliding door folds completely open to allow cross-ventilation and maintain a continuous connection with the outdoors.

露台成为室内社交空间的自然延伸，通向户外休闲区与一个圆形泳池。柔和的曲线与住宅整体的几何秩序形成对比。茂密植被环绕庭院，营造出清凉的绿洲氛围，鲜明的绿色与建筑色彩形成生动对照。

The terrace becomes a natural extension of the social areas, leading to an outdoor lounge and a rounded swimming pool. These soft, curved forms contrast with the home’s clean geometry. Dense vegetation surrounds the patio, creating a refreshing oasis where the vibrant greens of the plants beautifully contrast with the colorful architecture.

紧凑而富有张力的空间组织

Compact yet generous

场地后部设置了第二个体量，容纳两间卧室、一间客用卫生间及服务空间。一层卧室配有宽敞淋浴间，通过玻璃砖墙引入光线，形成独特的光影效果。二层卧室在布局上与下层相似，但通过倾斜屋顶以及淋浴空间中如“眼睛”般的窗洞，引入天空视野，形成细微变化。

At the back of the property, a second volume houses two bedrooms, a guest half-bath, and a service area. The ground-floor bedroom features a spacious shower illuminated by a mural of vitroblock, creating a unique play of light. On the upper floor, the second bedroom mirrors the lower one with subtle differences: a sloped roof, and an eye-shaped window in the shower that frames the sky.

材料与低维护策略

Materials and low-maintenance design

整座住宅强调耐久性与简洁性。橙色chukum墙面、红雪松木作、着色混凝土以及手工花砖共同定义了空间特征。所有定制家具、床头柜、桌子及艺术装置均由建筑师本人以MATA名义设计制作，强化了空间的一体化与低维护属性。Skoura住宅展示了如何通过在地材料、有效的空间策略以及对既有结构的整合，营造出一个宁静、当代且深深扎根于场所的居住环境。

The entire home is crafted with a focus on durability and simplicity. Walls of orange chukum, red cedar carpentry, pigmented concrete and handcrafted pasta tiles define the character of the house. All built-in furniture, nightstands, tables, and artwork crafted under the MATA authorship -by the architect himself- emphasizing the home’s integrated and low-maintenance nature. Casa Skoura highlights how simple local materials, efficient spatial strategies, and thoughtful integration of existing structures can create a home that feels serene, contemporary, and deeply rooted in its place.
