### Build a Home with Yucatecan Soul: 3 Trends That Will Make It Unique
Published by [SIMCA Desarrollos](https://blog.simca.mx/en/author/simca-desarrollos) on Oct 28, 2025 4:54:43 PM
Building your home in **Merida** means embracing its climate, culture, and peaceful lifestyle; it’s about creating a space that blends tradition with modernity. Today, we’re sharing **three architectural trends that are setting the tone in the region, so you can build a home with a Yucatecan soul**.
1. *Chukum* Finishes
******
***Chukum*** is a natural finish made from the resin of the tree of the same name, native to **Yucatan**. This ancestral material has gained popularity in contemporary architecture thanks to its beauty and unique properties.
**Why use it?**
- Regulates temperature, keeping the space cool.
- Resistant to humidity and the passage of time.
- Offers a rustic yet elegant aesthetic finish.
**Where to apply it?**
It’s ideal for interior and exterior walls, bathrooms, pools, and more. Its smooth texture makes it a perfect choice for minimalist designs with a local soul.
## **2. Pasta Tile Floors**
****
**Pasta tile floors** are the colorful soul of the old colonial homes in **Merida’s** historic center. Today, they’re reimagined in designs that honor Yucatecan art, geometry, and culture.
**Why choose them?**
- They add personality and color.
- Each tile is handcrafted, giving it unique value.
- They’re durable, cool underfoot, and easy to maintain.
**Where do they shine the most?**
They work beautifully in social areas like living rooms, dining rooms, or entryways, but also look stunning in kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, and terraces.
## **3. Bahareque Pergolas**
****
**Bahareque** is an ancient building technique that combines wood with natural materials. In Yucatecan terraces, **bahareque pergolas** enhance cross ventilation, creating cool and inviting outdoor spaces.
**Why use them?**
- Provide natural shade and airflow.
- Add a rustic, handcrafted touch to gardens.
- Integrate beautifully into sustainable and bioclimatic designs.
**Where to install them?**
They’re perfect for terraces, patios, or poolside areas. You can enhance them with climbing plants, natural fiber furniture, or warm lighting.
## **La Region: Your Home with a Yucatecan Soul**
Open the door to a home filled with identity, comfort, and harmony at **La Region**, a residential development in **northern Merida** offering **premium lots** and **exclusive amenities** like a *swimming pool*, *hammock garden*, *yoga area*, and more, all designed to enrich your daily life.
