He started by knocking down walls. Then he extended the kitchen and put a pool in the backyard.

And yet, the homes designed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henryponce.com\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\">H. Ponce Arquitectos<\/a> are on par with premier international tropical properties found in California, Singapore, or Ibiza.\u00a0\u201cMost people who grow up here have a strong sense of architecture,\u201d Mr. Ponce says.<\/p>\n<p>This is likely the result of the city\u2019s intriguing blend of Mayan, Spanish, and French influences. Merida\u2019s wide boulevards are lined with stately Belle-\u00e9poque-style houses, some built from the stones of Mayan temples, while the smaller homes in city center are painted bright hues of blue, yellow, and a rusty red.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3584111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3584111\" style=\"width: 6288px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3815-copy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3584111 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3815-copy.jpg\" alt=\"A building facade characteristic of Merida's historic center\" width=\"6288\" height=\"4677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3815-copy.jpg 6288w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3815-copy-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3815-copy-1024x762.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 6288px) 100vw, 6288px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3584111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A building facade characteristic of Merida&#8217;s historic center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a brief period at the turn of the 20th century, Merida experienced a boom from the production of henequen, a strong fiber obtained from the leaves of a tropical American agave plant. Plantation owners lived much like the silver barons in mountainous Mexico. But when the industry declined after World War I and amid the turmoil of the Mexican Revolution, many who had made their fortune simply abandoned the palatial homes they could no longer afford to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Merida has experienced somewhat of a renaissance. More and more people have moved into colonial homes and refurbished them, restoring period details and capitalizing on the grand proportions, the high ceilings, arches and columns, and quiet inner courtyards.<\/p>\n<p>Henry Ponce is front and center in this trend as he is also a licensed Realtor. \u201cA lot of people come to Merida to look for houses and they want an architect\u2019s opinion,\u201d he says. \u201cOften they ask me to help find something that can be renovated.\u201d\u00a0Typically only one or two of the original rooms are preserved in an overhaul, but the gap between old and new affords interesting design possibilities. \u201cI like to put something very modern with the other elements that are true to the history. I like the blend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the &#8220;Kehoe House,&#8221; a regal turn-of-the-century property previously owned by a wealthy henequen baron, Ponce maintained a grand, colonial feel by refurbishing the original tile floors, moldings, and iron railings. The only major structural changes were an expanded master bedroom and a pool in the courtyard.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3584131\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3584131\" style=\"width: 1071px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fotos-calle-56-017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3584131 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fotos-calle-56-017.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Kohoe House&quot; features refurbished tiles and crown molding\" width=\"1071\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fotos-calle-56-017.jpg 1071w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fotos-calle-56-017-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/fotos-calle-56-017-685x1024.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3584131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Kohoe House&#8221; features refurbished tiles and crown molding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For &#8220;Nemer House,&#8221; Ponce made the meeting of old and new more pronounced. In the existing part of the home he left the brick walls exposed, kept the original stenciling and repaired the molding, and in the back of the property, he added a modern courtyard and pool. To mark the transition between the historic and modern, he left a gap, covered in glass, between the house and the courtyard. The two parts of the home function as one, and yet, incorporated in the design is a respect for their respective autonomies.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3584132\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3584132\" style=\"width: 7360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3894-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3584132 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3894-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Henry Ponce added a modern courtyard and pool to the &quot;Nemer House&quot;\" width=\"7360\" height=\"4912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3894-copy.jpg 7360w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3894-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_3894-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 7360px) 100vw, 7360px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3584132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Henry Ponce added a modern courtyard and pool to the &#8220;Nemer House&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cPoncified\u201d is how Merida locals call the renovated properties, referring to the contemporary touches and prolific use of marble and glass. Finding a stylistic balance of old and new is only part of the design challenge, however. Many of the houses in Merida\u2019s historic center are narrow and long, and Ponce must find ways of bringing in light and making the spaces functional for today\u2019s lifestyles.<\/p>\n<p>For the &#8220;B+H 45 House,&#8221; which Ponce says was \u201cbasically a tunnel\u201d when he started, he opened up the space using skylights and living room garden. A wide wall of windows leads from the master bedroom to the balcony overlooking the pool and ground floor terrace, which can also be reached by a spiraling outdoor staircase. \u201cWorking with existing properties means there are always constraints,\u201d he says. \u201cThe job is finding the best solution within those constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3584133\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3584133\" style=\"width: 7346px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_2356-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3584133 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_2356-copy.jpg\" alt=\"The architect added skylights and a living room garden to the &quot;B+H 45 House,&quot; which is narrow and long\" width=\"7346\" height=\"4530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_2356-copy.jpg 7346w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_2356-copy-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newwebdev.wordpress-developer.us\/hauteresidence\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/ACZ_2356-copy-1024x631.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 7346px) 100vw, 7346px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3584133\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The architect added skylights and a living room garden to the &#8220;B+H 45 House,&#8221; which is narrow and long<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.henryponce.com\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\">H.
