Hacienda Wabi is a residential complex nestled within the jungle, seamlessly blending into its natural surroundings. Promoted by Namus, a Tulum-based developer specializing in boutique projects and designed by RA!, the structure, composed of stairways and terraces, rises to create spaces that, over time, seem to surrender back to nature. The buildings design seeks to reinterpret the passage of time through the lens of ruin aesthetics.Save this picture!Save this picture!The staggered volumes, which recede skyward, evoke the ancient settlements that once lined the area, generating a layout that ensures a consistent flow of light and air to each block.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The terraces are framed by perimeter planters that drape the faade in greenery, giving the impression of nature reclaiming the space.Save this picture!Save this picture!Inside, a large, fragmented courtyard creates intimate corners that provide access to the 15 apartments spread across three levels.
