The Ixi\u2019im Restaurant comprises the re-use of the engine house of an old henequen hacienda, San Antonio Chabl\u00e9, whose productive <\/span>splendor was in the second half of the 19th century and its subsequent decline occurred in the second half of the 20th century. <\/span><\/p>\n

This intervention has generated new uses for our built cultural heritage. The site consists\u00a0 of several independent structures, including the engine room, which shape the public space or main square. A north – south axis connects the main set of the hacienda with other nearby settlements since its original use.<\/span><\/p>\n

PROJECT LOCATED IN CHOCHOL\u00c1, YUCATAN. DEVELOPED AS A JOINT WORK BY ARCHITECTS EDUARDO CALVO SANTISB\u00d3N AND ANA LAURA PUIG CASARES FROM CENTRAL DE PROYECTOS SCP, WITH JORGE A. BOLIO ROJAS, MAURICIO GALLEGOS ESQUIVO, JOS\u00c9 CARLOS LAVALLE ALONZO, AND LUIS A. PENICHE ARROLLO.<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

    The proposal starts by establishing a pause in this circulation through a subtle threshold that contains virtually the space of access to ruin. Referring to the original activity and its industrial elements, the intervention strategy is materialized in a large metallic enclosure that weaves, through the preexisting building, the new architectural program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This articulating frame, whose internal offset liberates the existing walls from structural responsibility, generates a new interstitial space of dialogue between heritage and intervention. At the same time, it allows the filtering of indirect natural light, thermally confining the interior and supporting the display of one of the largest collection of crafted liquors in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Independently that Restaurant Ixi\u2019im is by the nature of its main activity a wealth of flavors and a unique experience for the palate, the general intervention strategy contemplates a setting that modifies the visual and touching limits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Through leaving a gap between the supporting structure and the interior of the room, the old walls of the engine room can be seen but not touched, creating a tension in this space of transition between periods, sensations, temperature and noises. Visitors can \u201cfeel\u201d the building\u2019s history but can\u2019t touch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Produced by the last active rope factory in Yucatan, the suspended henequen ropes in the interior, besides functioning as acoustic diffusers between customers, they are a sample of the material that gave origin to the building.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The spatial sequence allows the visitor to transit between periods, finishing in the contemporary addition, whose physical and visual integration with the main square and its components closes a cycle of respect and belonging. This place provides the opportunity to reencounter with the wind, the temperature, the noises of the Yucatecan rainforest and its textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Restaurant Ixi\u2019im is a place which background dependency cannot be replicated in any other place.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

            <\/em>During the visit, there is an aspect that stands out for the sense of smell: the old stone walls hold the world\u2019s biggest collection of tequila bottles, more than three thousand bottles offer an aroma which combined with the gastronomy, the henequen ropes, and the wood finishes, all together generate a unique combination that will remain forever in the mind of the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
