Orchid Pavilion is located between the sea and the mountains. It is a permanent, sustainable wooden structure dedicated to the conservation of orchids in the Oaxaca region, highlighting the area's biological and cultural diversity. To grow and reproduce orchids, we needed a humid, partially shaded, and well-ventilated environment. Pyramid-shaped, water-filled concrete basins atop a wooden structure collect and filter water droplets for drip irrigation, remaining permanently humid, allowing orchids to absorb moisture directly from the environment, eliminating the need for manual watering.
