Tulix housing project in Tulum

Coyote 


The playful configuration of intertwined volumes in reddish tones poses a pattern of hollows and solids between shadows in the Mexican city of Tulum, in the Yucatan Peninsula. Separated by an elongated garden of native plants, the arrangement of 39 dwellings in two parallel rows allows for cross ventilation and natural lighting of the spaces. Between sheets of water, the sculptural composition is defined by a coating of local tradition, the chukum, a mixture of the resin of the tree of the same name with cement and limestone, which gives the project an identity of its own. The complex has a permeable and vegetated floor in the common areas and parking lots, facilitating sustainable water management and environmental balance.
