Casa Yuu' Kee' by em-estudio Bridges a Zapotec-Named Creek in San Pedro Pochutla

In San Pedro Pochutla, Mexico, the architecture firm em-estudio has completed Casa Yuu' Kee', a 985 m² house whose name derives from the Zapotec phrase for 'stone creek.' The creek itself runs through the site, physically dividing the home's social and private zones; a bridge reconnects them. Ivan Esqueda Martinez and Francisco Esqueda Martinez served as lead architects, with Berenice Galindo on the design team. Bardana handled landscape architecture, and José Luis Reyes Ortiz oversaw general construction. The project was completed in 2025 and photographed by Ivan Esqueda Martinez and Nin Solis. Manufacturers whose products were used include David Pompa, La Metropolitana, Mosaicos Oaxaca, and Tucurinca. Curated by Valentina Díaz, the house falls under the residential category and was originally published in Spanish.
