Coastal architectural projects emphasize landscape integration in Mexico

New architectural projects in Mexico are emphasizing integration with natural landscapes and slow living. In Oaxaca, the Suuel Living residential development, designed by CAAM under Camilo Moreno Oliveros and Daniel Moreno Ahuja, focuses on harmony with the Pacific coast. The project utilizes a symmetric grid within a perfect square to create a sense of calm and stability, prioritizing light, shadow, and airflow over material opulence.

Similarly, the Casa Akíga project by Studio Saxe utilizes a sloping terrain to create a sequence of spaces designed for gradual discovery. The residence is partially hidden within the landscape, integrating with the jungle and maintaining a connection to the ocean through a series of platforms and a connecting bridge that allows residents to move through the natural environment.
