CUMBRES DOCE

Cumbres Doce is an investment Project located on a great boom-zone in downtown Cancun. It consists of five separate houses, surveillance booth and access control to the housing develoment. The biggest challenge of the project was the location of the houses on a long strip of land which has a very narrow front and an extended deep with neighbourings on its three sides. The solution was the construction of the main floor on the first level, and leaving services and wares at street level. By doing so the main floor extends itself all through the land width, making bridges above the roads inside the whole development. The floors location on the project are turned on so to look for the best orientation, assuring sunshine by the pool and garden area, and a natural crossed ventilation when opening the large windows. An important and distinctive feature of the project is that every house holds its own and private backyard - pool area….each house unit functions independently into the development. The modern - minimalistic style of the project attempts to make a statement by proposing a more contemporary approach to the way of living in the caribbean. The design concept is based on combining open spaces, double heights and large opening window panels integrating inside and outside areas to create a unique environment.
