zihuatanejo, guerrero

This project consists of four houses and three bungalows built in a condominium.  It has a big common palapa and a pool.  This is a flat piece of land with no ocean view.  But the project compensates this lack of “view” with a lush tropical garden that is almost overtaking the architecture and that brush past you in the walkways and private pockets they generate.

Part of the challenges of building in this valley was to conduct the excess water rundown form the mountains. On the other hand, fertility was capitalized and palms, bananas, heliconias and papayas abound.
