INSPIRATION AND CONCEPT IN “COCOON HOTEL AND RESORT, TULUM, MEXICO”!

INSPIRATION AND CONCEPT IN “COCOON HOTEL AND RESORT, TULUM, MEXICO”!

TULUM, MEXICO

DNA unveils “Cocoon Hotel & resort”, Tulum, Mexico- a new eco-resort which merges with Nature being located in the exotic jungles, just next to the sea. The project is 46.181 m2 and consists of 3 residential and 2 hotel buildings “COCOON” with 204 apartments and 167 rooms as well as 16 private villas.

The inspiration for this project comes from 3 concepts- the Nest, the Cell and the Forest. The nest represents a need of protection and gives a primordial sensation of embracement and security where people can reconnect with the inner self, with community, with Nature. We are all used to see birds nest since childhood; it’s a familiar shape that remembers us birth and family… In this concept the nest becomes the external language of the cluster, a filter between the completely natural forest and the man-made building.

The distribution of the units- Cocoons follows the concept of molecule containing different elements, with the nest as a membrane and the building as cells. The cell represents a beginning of life, which can be divided into other cells thus giving more new lives.

Finally, the Forest becomes the integral part of the project as it represents Nature, which allows the life on the planet. The set of Cocoons is disposed in a way that gives an access to outdoor spaces allowing architecture to be understood as something that can coexist with Nature. Cocoon Hotel & Resort is a space which becomes one with Nature.

NATURE & SUSTAINABILITY IN “COCOON HOTEL & RESORT, TULUM, MEXICO”.

TULUM, MEXICO

DNA unveils “Cocoon Hotel & resort”, Tulum, Mexico- a new concept of eco-tourism, and a great opportunity of connection with Nature, Community, Ourselves, inspired by the sea and the exotic forest. The project consists of 46.181 m2 offering 3 residential and 2 hotel buildings “COCOON” with 204 apartments and 167 rooms as well as 16 private villas.

Every feature serves to give a unique experience and create a magical place for the guest, at the same time making him identify what is Mexico. The complex offers luxury community spaces integrated into nature such as jungle gardens, magical outdoor living spaces-villas, multipurpose pavilion, indoor community spaces, leisure areas, restaurant, and a panoramic Nest with unrestricted and breath-taking views. All to achieve a wide vocabulary of visual elements to mutate into designing language, in materials and shapes, for a bio-mimicry architecture.

DNA´s objective was to achieve the balance between mind-body-soul providing a true escape from everyday life, allowing maximum disconnection and relaxation and that´s why spa-wellness, saunas, and community swimming pools were carefully developed and became an important part of this project. The idea was to create “Cenotes”- natural freshwater ponds, to which the Mayans gave a sacred use, thus allowing to experience the real Mayan´s rituals.

DNA makes an emphasis on sustainability concept respecting ecosystem and biodiversity, contributing to the usage of natural materials that minimizes the impact of building and generation of waste. The water collection concept is also respected and represents a recovery of rainwater for sewage treatment. The solar panels are implemented to achieve sustainable electricity. Finally, the “dry” construction system is used, meaning no wet binders, shorter execution time, and increased safety and sustainability.
