Text description provided by the architects. Amaka is a Condo Hotel project located in the city of Tulum, Quintana Roo. A city surrounded by nature, beautiful beaches, and a rich archaeological history of the Mayan Culture. With a construction area of 1,722.44 m2, Amaka is a project comprised of 18 private condominiums in a building surrounded by open areas that provide natural lighting and ventilation to the building, thus reducing the use of electrical elements.

The design process begins by respecting the largest amount of existing vegetation, which also serves as a frontal barrier of vegetation as the project's first view. This entails a commitment to reducing the impact on the area and preserving its natural areas. The hammock, as an element of rest and relaxation, plays a significant role in the project's concept. Therefore, users are greeted at the entrance by lighting elements representing a hammock. Similarly, a set of hammocks is found at various points throughout the project for the enjoyment of the users.
