Article source: Central de Proyectos SCP Given the growing offer of multifamily housing developments in the Tulum area, the project seeks to establish a group where the sense of community is returned. Beyond the repetition of vertically stacked repetitive products, Kiki is about belonging to the whole, where the units, although defined and independent, are understood in their relationship with each other forming an inseparable building, a porous and permeable monolith. The project strategy is based on a reticular grid structure of 3.60 meters in which the housing units can be configured modularly from one to two bedrooms as required, providing products of 26, 52 and 78 square meters. This scheme allows us to generate subtractions at various levels to obtain terraces and controlled views of the context.  Image Courtesy © Eduardo Calvo Santisbón

The plastic solution allows to express the local artisanal workforce, through apparent materials in structure and finishings, additioned with local tree resins whose tone contrasts with the natural context.
