Embracing Beach Style in Acapulco: Delightful Home in Aqua and Turquoise

ByMyProperty Life

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.

  • Kahua Kuili Residence

    The Kahua Kuili residence is a modern interpretation of the classic Hawai’i summer camp. In keeping with the firm’s design philosophy, the warm yet spacious retreat was designed with longevity in mind. Kahua Kuili incorporates centuries-old indigenous design elements paired with contemporary attitudes to create a residence that will remain relevant for generations to come. Located within the dry portion of the Kona Coast at the base of the large cinder cone Pu’u Kuili, the property offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and Kua Bay as well as mountain views of Hualalai. Previously the site of a working ranch, the transition to residence became an opportunity to return the majority of the landscape to its natural state: a mix of lava and bunch grasses. Inspired by traditional Hawaiian architecture, the 5,590-square-foot residence is composed of multiple structures that simultaneously provide privacy through their scattered arrangement and community through the open spaces between them. The camp-like retreat’s focal point is the main hale (Hawaiian for house), which provides a central gathering place for family and friends. The main hale opens to ocean views and the central, protected courtyard, enabling activity to flow easily between indoor and outdoor space, including to the adjacent pool and tiki bar. The bar/lounge area spills over into the pool, complete with multiple lounge chairs and breathtaking ocean views. A barbecue/luau area allows for gatherings of family and friends who can picnic under the comfort and shade of a magnificent kiawe tree. Deep roof overhangs define the transition between inside and outside and offer shelter from sun and rain. Outdoor spaces link the separate structures—guest quarters, studio, wash house, garage—to one another. The use of simple, durable materials, such as board-formed concrete, western red cedar, large sliding doors, operable wood ventilation louvers, and rope lashing help reinforce the camp-like aesthetic. Western red cedar was selected for its resistance to termites and dry rot as well as for the beautiful way it patinas with age. Natural stone cowboy walls surrounding the property help create a sense of privacy from nearby houses. The interiors, by Marion Philpotts, were designed in a comfortable, contemporary aesthetic with bright colors and retro elements that tie into the modern theme of the structure. The expansive cedar-clad kitchen features a breakfast bar, dining table, and state-of-the-art appliances. Tall ceilings, large windows, and grand sliding doors that open to the courtyard contribute to the casual ease of the house. Intimate spaces, which include cozy reading nooks and relaxing sitting areas, are scattered throughout the home. Kahua Kuili is the quintessential destination for relaxation, where one can unwind comfortably and in style, all while enjoying the natural climate and landscape of Hawaii. Project team
