La vivienda en la frontera México-Belice, una amalgama de arquitecturas. De un lado, la arquitectura habitacional maya; de otro, la arquitectura derivada del bungalow, establecida en la zona a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. En el caso que analizamos, sin embargo, los procesos históricos son claves para entender la creación de ese nuevo modelo de vivienda, podríamos decir que son el detonante del mismo.

| description |
Housing in the Mexico-Belize border is a merge of the architectonic culture that occurred in the area, where the historical processes are the key to understanding the creation of existing housing. The first historical process is marked by the millenarian Mayan culture sequence that acts as a cultural substrate. The second one is the territorial development of the British Honduras colony during the second half of the 19th century, based on a land ordering that introduces new agroforestry exploitations as a counterbalance to the lumber operation initiated at the end of the 18th century. That process coincides with the effects from the Caste War (1847-1901), a conflict between the Mayan communities and yucatan's henequeros landowners because of the way of work they imposed them. Those effects modified the geographic space as they caused the present refugees and population increase followed by the creation of settlements in the north of British Honduras. Those refugees settled taking advantage of the new conditions that asylum territory offered them, enabling the consolidation of a new house model, an hybrid that combined the tradition of Mayan house and the English bungalow architectonic model typical fomthta colony.
