Wóolis

About the project

Wóolis

A 450 m² single-family house in Mérida, Yucatán (2021). Its central element is a cylinder with an upper lattice that casts traces of sunlight on the walls; the traces shift over the course of the day and the year with the changing angle of the sun.

Wóolis is a place that invites us to observe and remember our origins, a contemporary observatory that prompts us to discover the passage of time, revealed in the lines that the sun and the upper lattice of the cylinder paint on the walls at different times of day, lines that shift position throughout the year with the changing angle of the sun.
