“Casa T” conveys atmosphere through open space planning and exotic, geometric forms of traditional patterns in bright colors, providing individual radiation and a residential feel. The House extends on an area of about 261 square metres area and enjoys with its modern architecture. Casa T is a project completed by Studio Arquitectos in 2015. It’s located in the La Veleta neighborhood of downtown Tulum. Minutes from old pueblo center of town, and about a 20 minute car ride to the public beaches or a 35min enjoyable bike ride to the beach thru the center of town and the famous ruins and Paradise Beach. The design process is personalized to the client; if the client turned into architectural elements, Casa T would be his spatial presence. The intention is to inspire guests creatively, intellectually. The apartment features surrounding large patio doors which face the private manicured zen garden with outdoor comfy lounge areas. The aim was a composition of volumes and shapes, rhythms and textures, catching the spectator by surprise in several corners. Simple and complex at the same time, in a tropical scenario but yet elegant. The integration of materials was a composition based in an introspective of the client, working as well the interiors along with him.
The indoor and outdoor concrete is equally well used as a popular building material in modern architecture and design, but varied interpreted. The different geometric structures differentiate and combine areas, accents, and provide modern appearance. The bright colors and ornaments of folk art inspired, exotic radiation and living.
The process of personalization reached such an extent that if volumes are analyzed from an aerial view, they form a “T”. There are some shades near the swimming pool that make a “T”. The niches left by the bathroom accessories in the showers are holes with a “T” form. The concept “coming from a city (New York) to the Tropical Caribbean (Tulum)” is written on the materials of polished cement surrounded by constant vegetation with a longitudinal swimming pool. El Viento Studio is part of a Casa T, a 3 unit artfully themed complex focused on interpreting the four basic elements through architecture, fashion and interior design. It’s innovative and magical to visit and enjoy a vacation in an exotic part of the world.
