Cocoon Hotel & Resort: Tulum's most impressive hotel

The project, 46,181 square meters, develops within a terrain of 5.9 hectaresthrough 3 residential buildings and 2 hotels with a total of 204 departments, 167 rooms and 16 private villages; It also offers luxurious community spaces integrated with nature as gardens in the jungle, incredible outdoor villas, a multi -purpose pavilion, recreation and recreation areas, restaurant and a panoramic “nest” with impressive views of the Caribbean.

Each of the amenities and spaces serve to give a unique experience and create a magical place for the host through a wide vocabulary of visual elements that are transformed into design language, materials and forms, which represent Mexico and create a biomimetic architecture. In addition, The inspiration for each of the «nests» focused on the creation of cenotesas a point of interaction and social cohesion, and as an opportunity to live the sacred rituals of the Maya.

He Biomimetic design It is one that seeks to imitate natural models, systems and processes in order to solve human problems in a more practical and efficient way. The main objective of the project is to achieve a series of spaces that favor the mind-body-alma balance providing A real escape from everyday lifewhile allowing the guest to disconnect and relax in the best way, that is why the areas of the spa, the saunas and the pools were carefully designed and took an important role within the project.

The study emphasizes the concept of sustainability by deeply respecting the ecosystem and biodiversity, using local materials that minimize the impact of constructionwhile the conscious use of the subjects is favored and the generation of waste is reduced. Storm water collection is used for wastewater treatment and gardens irrigation. As for electricity, the complex location allows the use of Solar panelsIn this way, large conventional electrical installations that can damage the ecosystem are avoided. Finally, and no less important, the «dry» construction systemin which there are no wet adhesives, the execution time is shorter and safety is increased during construction and the total sustainability of the project is emphasized.
