In Puerto Cancún, Espacio emerges as a unique mixed-use hub, featuring a "U"-shaped main building with a central core transforming into a public plaza. The architectural interplay of straight lines and curves defines its character, complemented by cut stone grounding on the lower levels and a delicate wooden lattice above. Transparency on upper floors enhances the visual connection with the mangroves and marine environment, creating a distinct identity as the focal point of community interaction.
