\u201cAcacias, thevetias, mesquites, gliricidias, gumbo-limbos, lantana flowers\u201d\u2014celebrated Mexican architect Alberto Kalach is listing some of the native species that now occupy an ocean-front resort that’s located 30 minutes from the beachside town of Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico. The\u00a0approximately-22-acre site is verdant now, but the landscape was not always so fertile.<\/p>\n

The area, formerly used for agriculture, sat barren and deserted until 2012. Sensing its potential, Luis Urrutia, an environmental engineer specializing in ecosystem restoration, invited Kalach to work with him on regenerating the area and, later, in 2017, build a series of eco-villas that could coexist with their natural surroundings. The result is Punta P\u00e1jaros<\/a>, a masterful expression of design that works beautifully because, not in spite of, the landscape that envelops it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we arrived there was no vegetation, save for the last vestiges of trees and plants that indicated the area was once part of a jungle,” explains Urrutia. With Kalach<\/a>, he scouted the surrounding landscape for flora native to the region, and embarked on the task of reforesting the area with endemic species. It\u2019s no secret that Kalach is as talented and enthusiastic a botanist as he is an architect: he oversaw the landscaping of the gardens for the neighboring art foundation Casa Wabi<\/a> and his portfolio features a multitude of buildings and spaces that brim with barely-tamed greenery, including \u00a0private homes, the office tower that harbors his own studio, and the Mexican capital\u2019s monumental Vasconcelos Library. Following\u2014perhaps unconsciously\u2014in the footsteps of late Mexican architect Luis Barrag\u00e1n, Kalach\u2019s approach to design and construction seems rooted in a devout admiration for nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m under the impression that these lands, like a great part of Mexican territory, were systematically deforested either due to ignorance or necessity,\u201d laments Kalach. \u201cOur strategy has been to plant trees and shrubbery that are native to the area\u2014those that grow in sand and need little water\u2014and then let nature take its course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Early on, the team decided to build on just ten percent of the site to protect the nascent jungle from the inevitable impacts of construction. Eight independent villas use local wood certified by Mexico\u2019s environmental ministry, the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (there’s pine for the structure, macuil for the floors, and tzalam for the doors). The structures also keep a low profile: \u201cI designed the villas with a low height so that they could become hidden as soon as possible within the growing vegetation, maintaining the natural beauty of the place and providing a sense of privacy to the visitors,\u201d Kalach explains. The villas\u2019 program is simple. Inside, a kitchen, dining table, and living room face a terrace with a small, private pool and seemingly infinite view of the Pacific Ocean. A low wall divides the kitchen from the bedroom. To the side, a small bathroom is only partly enclosed, with most of it facing the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n

Besides aesthetics, Kalach\u2019s team made a number of choices in the name of sustainability. Each structure rests atop thin wooden pilotis, a decision that was made to avoid interrupting the spread of flora and fauna that has begun across the terrain. The water used to irrigate the grounds is sourced from wells, though once the plants are fully grown, they will no longer rely on irrigation. Organic waste is sent to Casa Wabi\u2019s compost area and used to fertilize the plants that are grown there, many of which are later placed in Punta P\u00e1jaros. Additionally, about 95 percent of the electricity used on the property comes from solar energy. The villas rely on natural ventilation to cool their interiors and are enveloped by screen doors that grant users panoramic views of their natural surroundings (wooden blinds also allow privacy).<\/p>\n

Providing visitors with a sense of seclusion and absolute immersion in nature was always the main intention behind Punta P\u00e1jaros. Throughout the design process, the team\u2019s approach to nature bordered on reverence. \u201cOur idea was to reconnect people with the environment,\u201d says Urrutia. \u201cMany visitors don\u2019t understand what we\u2019re doing at first because they\u2019re accustomed to luxury hotel chains.\u201d It\u2019s true that Punta P\u00e1jaros is a far cry from the experience that other resorts offer, where nature is presented as a spectacle of sorts; an encounter that one can turn on and off at will. \u201cSometimes guests arrive here and they can\u2019t sleep, because the noise from the ocean and the animals that now inhabit the vegetation is so intense. But after the second night they tell me, \u2018Luis, this is the best sleep we\u2019ve had in many years.\u2019 That\u2019s the effect we were after.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a country characterized by its natural wealth, the opposite of what Urrutia describes has become all too common: a remote, paradisiacal spot being discovered, developed, and ultimately devastated by a tourism sector eager to mine nature for profit. Canc\u00fan, Playa del Carmen, and most recently Tulum<\/a>, are a few examples of places where the environmental effects of tourism have been disastrous. Often, architects are inherently complicit in the depletion of previously pristine landscapes, making the case of Punta P\u00e1jaros, as well as the work of Kalach and Urrutia, all the more admirable.<\/p>\n
