PROPOSAL

2021

The Kuha project is conceived as a space that merges architecture and nature, making the environment a central element that fosters community among its residents. With a communal fire pit as its social hub, Kuha seeks to create a meeting point that encourages connections between residents and generates a relaxed atmosphere in harmony with the natural surroundings.


Located in Playa del Carmen, Kuha is a residential complex of six apartments that embodies an architectural vision inspired by respect for the natural environment. Influenced by the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, Kuha's design employs a triangular floor plan that maximizes integration with the landscape, optimizes views, and creates a play of volumes that adapts to the terrain. Each 120 m² apartment includes a private pool, allowing residents to enjoy an outdoor living experience in an atmosphere of privacy and connection with nature.


The triangular floor plan, inspired by Wright's principles of organic architecture, establishes a layout that adapts to the environment and allows for a fluid distribution of spaces. This facilitates the entry of natural light and air circulation, as well as offering views of the vegetation and the tropical surroundings. By combining common and private areas in interaction with the landscape, the triangular design lends a distinctive and functional character, allowing for a natural transition between interior and exterior.

  1. Connection with the Environment: The layout of the spaces and the inclusion of private pools in each apartment promote a lifestyle in harmony with nature, where vegetation and water elements are integrated into the visual and environmental landscape of the complex.

  2. Community Space: At the heart of the complex, a communal fire pit offers a meeting point where residents can gather at the end of the day, fostering a sense of community and togetherness. This open-air space becomes the heart of Kuha, encouraging interaction among residents and the cultural exchange that characterizes Playa del Carmen.

  3. Sustainable Design: Kuha's architecture is designed to respond to the local climate and natural environment, using low-impact materials and warm-toned finishes that harmonize with the surrounding vegetation. The triangular design and orientation of the apartments help reduce energy consumption by maximizing cross-ventilation and natural light, thus minimizing the need for air conditioning and artificial lighting during the day.

:
Kuha is a residential community that harmoniously integrates architecture with the natural environment, offering its residents a lifestyle focused on well-being and community. Inspired by the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright's organic architecture, Kuha is distinguished by its triangular design and the fluid relationship between interior spaces and the landscape, achieving a model of community and sustainability in Playa del Carmen.
