Naboa Tulum Hotel / Jaque Studio

Valentina Díaz — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Located in Tulum, on a square plot of 2,500 m², Naboa is founded on the premise of creating a project where architecture and landscape converge in an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. This intention materializes through pure and orderly geometries that contrast with the preexisting vegetation, which is disordered and random in nature. The volumes are arranged around the swimming pool and the tropical garden, which act as the guiding axis of the project. This arrangement gives the complex an introspective character, creating a microclimate that favors privacy and generates ideal conditions for the development of a unique identity.

Designing at the Edge: 8 Conceptual Projects Where Architecture Meets Nature from the ArchDaily Community

Nour Fakharany — Fri, 23 May 2025 04:00:00 +0000

At a time when architectural practice is increasingly tied to climate and context, the boundary between the built and the natural has become a critical site of experimentation. This month's unbuilt selection gathers eight conceptual projects that work with the edges of landscape. In Ramia by João Teles Atelier, the architecture draws directly from the metaphor of a seed breaking through soil, using wood, concrete, and water to create a sensorial route through Tulum's ecology. Meanwhile, Mobius Pier by X Atelier loops gently over the river edge, becoming both infrastructure and observation point. Similarly, Il mare degli Umbri approaches the threshold differently, restoring the historic shoreline of Lake Trasimeno and reintroducing local wetland ecologies. Each project in this collection reflects a unique position: some treat the edge as a spatial experience, others as a regulatory line, and others still as a point of cultural or ecological return.

Bungalows Luxury Tulum is a private condominium of 9 apartments located in the Aldea Zama development, in the heart of the Mayan Village in Tulum, Quintana Roo. Within this development, the master plan determined areas for locating buildings, parking areas, and jungle zones, so that the land for the building was already free from green area restrictions and boundaries as these zones were already assigned around it.
