Discover the breathtaking Akúun House, a modern residence in Yucatán that blends architecture and nature in perfect harmony. Designed as a horizontal line stretching nearly seventy meters, this stunning home feels light and timeless, almost like a suspended breath of architecture.
Set within a vast landscape, the house occupies only a fraction of the land, preserving the surrounding vegetation as the true protagonist. Native eucalyptus and lush flora create a natural green barrier that ensures privacy while framing the home in its tropical setting.
With its open design to the north and south, the residence captures natural ventilation and abundant daylight in every room. A central courtyard, divided by a majestic Álamo tree, separates the social and intimate areas while offering an open corridor that blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
Featuring a single-level layout, the home highlights raw materials such as wood, concrete, and stone, creating seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces. Small patios with organic sculptures, natural stone flooring, and continuous surfaces enhance the dialogue between art, design, and landscape.
Walking through Akúun House is an invitation to reconnect with nature — a place where the architecture respects the land, embraces the tropical breeze, and celebrates life in its purest form.
