该项目涉及为位于墨西哥图卢姆南部的Aldea Zamá的一个开发机构设计18套公寓，用于度假目的。该地块的特点是热带植被和软土，距离主要海滩约100米。植被包括本地灌木和高大的棕榈树，其中大部分需要保留。从主楼可以看到野生花园般的植被全景，从高层可以看到树梢和海洋的景色。

The project involves designing a block of 18 apartments for vacation purposes for a development agency located in Aldea Zamá, south of Tulum, Mexico. The site is characterized by tropical vegetation and soft soil, it is located about a hundred meters from the main beach. The vegetation includes native shrubs and tall palm trees, most of which need to be preserved. A panoramic view of wild garden-like vegetation can be seen from the main floor, and from the upper levels one can see treetops and views of the ocean.

该方案的解决方式是将建筑区块置于场地中央，以实现最大限度地避免与邻居和未来建筑的接触，其目的是为每个公寓单元生成一个私人户外空间。一组6个独立的一楼公寓被安排在底层，每个都有通往自己花园的私人通道。其他12个单元被组织成两层的生活空间，私人区域在第二层，公共区域在第三层。从第三层到屋顶的对话为每个公寓提供了一个私人的户外空间，可以看到丛林的全景。

The scheme is resolved by placing the building block in the middle of the site in order to achieve maximum privacy from the neighbors and future constructions with the idea of generating a private outdoor space for each of the apartment units. A set of six detached one-story apartments are organized on the ground floor, each with private access to its own garden. The other 12 units were organized into two-story living spaces, with private areas on the second and public areas on the third level. A dialogue from the third level to the roof provides each of the apartments with a private outdoor space with panoramic views of the jungle.

其结果是减少了流通空间的平方米数，作为方案的结果，保留了建筑语言。一层，连同楼梯、服务空间和浴室，大部分与街道封闭，完全向花园开放。第二层是两个立面内最封闭的地方，复式楼的私人区域就在这里。第三层是一个半开放的空间，外墙上有木质百叶窗，以保护房间免受雨水和强风的影响。复式楼的公共区域及其与屋顶的关系是由木质框架界定的。

The result is a reduced number of square meters in circulation spaces, preserving the architectural language as a result of the scheme. The ground floor, together with the stairs, service spaces, and bathrooms, is mostly closed to the street and completely open to the gardens. The second level is the most closed within both facades where the private areas of the duplex are located. The third level is a semi-open space with wooden shutters on the facades to protect the rooms from rain and strong winds. The public areas of the duplexes and their relationships with the rooftops are defined by wooden frames.

将自然作为主角，建筑是最小和中性的，只使用三种自然材料：木材、水洗混凝土和chukum。chukum树是一种多刺的半硬木树，在整个尤卡坦半岛都有发现，用来给纺织品染色和晒皮革。为了制造Chukum灰泥，将树皮煮沸两次，然后与水泥混合，可用于装饰墙壁或水池。Chukum树皮还自然地赋予灰泥泥土的颜色，创造出尤卡坦地区典型的温暖、质朴的氛围。

Leaving nature as the protagonist, the architecture is minimal and neutral, using only three natural materials, wood, washed concrete, and chukum. The chukum tree is a spiny, semi-hardwood tree found throughout the Yucatan peninsula, used to dye textiles and tan leather. To create chukum stucco, the bark of the tree is boiled twice and then mixed with cement, which can be used to finish walls or pools. Chukum bark also naturally gives the stucco its earthy color, creating a warm, rustic atmosphere typical of the Yucatan region.
