The city of Acapulco is renowned for its sand, surf and good times all around. It is a city where many tourists flock to enjoy the unending coastline and with it a chance to get a good tan! But we head to this Mexican city today to take a look at Departamento JM; a home that was revamped and given a fresh new look by Weber Arquitectos. The interior of this apartment overlooking the Pacific was previously draped in colors like beige and chocolate before its new owners asked for a color palette that was more befitting of the neighborhood it sits in. A shift towards modern beach style saw the apartment’s overhauled interior being draped in white, aqua, turquoise and light, white woods that epitomize life next to the ocean.

Entry with brilliant accent wall in aqua along with fabulous sconce lights makes a big visual impact








Step into the apartment and the first thing you notice is a brilliant Aqua and turquoise accent wall that is illuminated by sconce lights that act as artistic pieces. The entry sets the tone for rest of the house with latticework in wood separating the two. The open plan living area contains the kitchen and dining room as well and next to it is one of the terraces that offers unabated views of the Pacific which is just a stone’s throw away. With pops of orange, turquoise and aqua all around, there is no lack of brightness inside this Mexican apartment.

Jungle Keva

Situated in Tulum, this small boutique hotel rises between the trees, in which the main concept consisted in preserving 70% of the existing vegetation in order to build around it. By achieving this, every space of the project is always in relation to its natural surroundings. The hotel has five 50m2 lodges, formed by a double height room, a mezzanine or “tapanco”, a terrace and an indoor-outdoor bathroom. At the back of the lot the social areas are located, with a dining space and yoga pavilion hanging in cantilever over the pool. The main idea of this water element is to be extruded from the ground in between the vegetation. For this reason, two old zapote trees were preserved, which look as they were rising from the pool itself. All the project is composed by local materials, as well as low maintenance and natural textures, which provide a warm atmosphere to the buildings. A particular finish found on the walls is “chukum”, a Mayan stucco characteristic of the region, which uses a tree resin to give its distinctive color, appearance and durability. The objective was to use materials that age with dignity, so that with the passing of time the architecture acquires character and a deeper sense of belonging. The different volumes of the complex are scattered along the lot, between the trees and stone paths, which provide a sensation of being in a small village in the Mayan jungle. Throughout the design process there was a search for pure forms and natural materials that could blend with the surrounding context. In a sense, Jungle Keva is like an abstraction or simplification of vernacular architecture, easy to read, simple and with a social, natural and economic conscience.
