the PROJECTS
WHERE our VISION
comes to LIFE
ARCHITECTURELABORATORIES
We have put together a team of creators who are developing new architectural elements. In state-of-the-art workshops, these talented local artisans experiment with different materials to transform them into pieces that become integral features of our spaces.
Brass, wood, and stone fuse with henequen and cotton macramé. Original ceramic pieces are made from scratch, sintered in purpose-built ovens, and finished by hand. The art of glassblowing overhauls our approach to lighting.

PATAGONIA
The Mapuche-Cayún community was established with the sole purpose of protecting their land. Thanks to their commitment, several hydroelectric projects that threatened to destroy thousands of hectares of native forest have been halted.
Within 230 hectares, including 5 kilometers of coast along two lakes, we will build artists residences to house projects involving the native communities. As part of our native forest protection project, we will create a Larch National Park containing trees more than 300 years old, as well as building 10 exclusive residences.
We are bringing solar power to Mayan communities. In expert-led workshops, community members are taught to assemble their own panels, in order to promote a clean power source and improve basic living standards. Our goal is to use solar power to sustain the needs of the communities of the Yucatan Peninsula.
TECHNOLOGY for ALL
Technology can change our lives for the better. It can make us safer, improve livelihoods and guide us on the path towards sustainability. This is why we have conceived projects that bring technology closer to the local community in an effort to drive socially and ecologically minded development in the region.

AMAZONIA
There are 1000 Shipibo communities in this land. They preserve an ancestral knowledge of medicinal plants and are natural-born healers.
We will build artist’s residences, where artists will work with native communities and the works of art created here will be sold with 100% of the proceeds going to the local native communities to be used for the creation of fish farms and greenhouse farming: The fish farms will provide an alternative for the local people to eating fish from the rivers contaminated by illegal mining.
The greenhouses will help them enrich their diets and avoid the continuous burning of hundreds of thousands of acres a year to obtain rich soil for yucca plantations.
FASHION EXPLORATION
Atelier Aníkena, our fashion production workshop, is a place full of magic. Here, unique designs are dreamed up, fabrics are dyed and dresses embroidered. Residues from the hotel are given new life and transformed into beautiful garments that carrie the essence of nature.
At the same time, we are exploring the applications of boucherouite, an old moroccan weaving technique that is traditionally used to create colorful rugs out of diverse fabrics. These ancestral practices enrich the cultural perspective of our projects, allowing us to innovate while learning from great cultures of the past.
