Casa RC is a spiritual and community center in Mérida designed for Regnum Christi. The program brings together a sanctuary and chapel, an auditorium, coworking and study areas, and a café—a place conceived for both quiet contemplation and active community life, where faith, work and gathering coexist within a shared architectural language.
FORMM developed the complete architectural design and visualization of the center, shaping each space according to its emotional character: serenity in the sanctuary, energy in the common areas, and warmth in the café and coworking spaces. The chapel and sanctuary anchor the composition, using light and proportion to establish a naturally contemplative atmosphere from the moment of arrival.
The auditorium, coworking areas and café allow the building to remain active throughout the day rather than functioning only as a place of worship. Circulation is designed for universal accessibility, with ramps integrated as sculptural elements of the architecture. A consistent material and formal palette unites spaces with very different uses into a coherent and recognizable identity.
