Casa Media Perra

Azulik Resort In Mexic Villa in Tulum

Casa Media Perra is a private residence designed by studio Santos Bolívar and located in Guadalupe, Mexico. The rugged topography of the site partially dictated the final design and overall structure of the house. The building is raised on columns made out of wood and steel and this leaves an open area beneath, allowing the structure to have minimal impact on the landscape and also made the whole building process easier. At the same time, the views are quite majestic from up there.

The last project on today’s list is also located in Tulum and is called Artia. It’s a private condominium composed of 21 apartments. It was a project developed by studio AS Architecture in collaboration with CO-LAB Design Office. The apartments are organized in three levels and topped with a rooftop terrace/ garden area. The structure was built using traditional techniques and locally-sourced materials which include hardwoods and stone. By placing the building at the back of the lot the architects managed to preserve all the trees at the front and to create a beautiful tropical garden. The wood-covered exterior gives the structure a very welcoming look and also helps it blend into the surroundings. It also goes really well with the whole tropical and eco-friendly nature of this entire project.
