The Village, a residential development on the Riviera Maya in Mexico, used its significant geographical (jungle) and historical (pre-Hispanic Mayan culture) context as a conceptual basis to allow an extensive residential masterplan to consciously insert itself into a territory of unique qualities. This visually complex volume is ordered according to the modulation of 4mx4m structural boards, being the basic constructive element of the entire project. Within this system –based on concrete frames–, the different apartments are housed, ranging from 80 sqm to 160 sqm.
