Designed by internationally renowned artist, Jorge Pardo, as his home in Merida, Casa 64 features a garden courtyard, open air kitchen, and refreshing lap pool. Boasting two huge bedrooms, each with king bed, desk and en suite bathroom, and a third queen bedroom with ensuite bath, and easy access to a rooftop terrace for sunset drinks. Casa 64 is in the best part of Mérida, walking distance to Parque de Santa Ana, Santa Lucia and Plaza Principal. Great restaurants and cafes all around. The space Take a look at how Interior's Magazine described the space:
The front door of the house opens directly into the dining room, which spans the width of the building. This sudden transition from a bustling street into the private world is unexpected—this is a house filled with playful visual surprises. Jorge Pardo has broken out the patterns and colors of its original tiled floor into a floating stencil design, which covers the room’s high walls. A dramatic painting based on Diego Velázquez’s 1656 masterpiece, Las Meninas, hangs on one wall. The long table and sculptural pendant lamps, all designed by Pardo, add freshness to the dark room.
Beyond this, the main living area opens out to a swimming pool and tall palm trees. The space is almost entirely outdoors, except for the long stretch of kitchen counter tucked lengthwise into a colonnade, which leads to a two-story living room. Here you see the dramatic verticality of the house, a contrast to the typical single-story horizontal character of the rest of Mérida.
With large picture windows opening onto the central courtyard, the living room is defined by a long, L-shaped cushioned sofa running across two walls. A tall painted screen leads to a spectacular bathroom, where Pardo has created a space based on small and large circles. The round mirrors are placed so that they reflect in an endless repetition and are bisected by an island containing a sink and storage in the middle of the room.
A blue stucco spiral staircase leads up to the bedrooms, where Pardo has repeated the ceiling height of the ground-floor rooms. The cool, mint-green master bedroom has long, room-height slit windows of uneven spacing that have carefully planned views of the sky and the uppermost green leaves of the courtyard palms below. Above the bed, covered in a bright-red bedspread, open shelves painted red hold a growing collection of suitcases. Pardo uses mirrors to change the boundaries of the rooms; the master bathroom holds a 20-foot-tall mirror that looks back into the bedroom. A flourishing roof garden adds to the bedroom views and stretches across to another vibrant bedroom and bathroom. Guest access You will have access to the full house. Other things to note Casa 64 has been featured in various art and design Magazines, and was built as a part of an exhibition with a gallery in London.

TRUE CLASSIC COLONIAL MASTERPIECE with huge rooftop patio. Walk to restaurants.
Please don’t flush anything down the toilet – even toilet paper can clog things – pipes are smaller here and can’t handle much.
Please turn air off when you are not using a room or leave altogether – electricity is surprisingly expensive in the Yucatan.
Please hang towels after use rather than leaving them piled on the floor; it ruins the towels and is a pet peeve of the cleaners. Thanks!
