About the Project
Set to launch soon, these eco-pods are constructed using bamboo, local timber, and earth, combining traditional Mexican craftsmanship with advanced parametric design tools. They include compost toilets that benefit local agriculture, gravity-powered lights activated by occupants, and water mist nets for natural cooling instead of air-conditioning. Designed to be carbon-negative, these spaces immerse visitors in nature and aim to promote a new model of sustainable, community-driven tourism.
