DNA unveils “Life Tree, Tulum, Mexico” architectural project of 20 hotel lounges, developed for the Environment of great tourist and landscape value, in a location of natural character in the Yucatan region next to the Atlantic Ocean.

Complex of 20 hotel lounges, surrounded by vegetation and nature and provided with unique sensations throughout the complex, all of them with lock off on the upper floor. The Ground floor is developed for the location of many natural elements and community spaces for relaxation and enjoyment of the nature of the place and offers Natural pools, Gym Club, SPA, Restaurant and Lounge Bar. The arrangement of nest-houses in height, allows maximum visibility to the natural landscape, in a quiet and reserved context.

“The life tree holistic community” bases its design on the communion between the natural environment that we have and a naturally inspired geometry. The set of volumes is arranged in a way that promotes the inclusion of the access spaces in the outdoor space as a whole, allowing the architecture to be understood as some thing that could coexist with nature.

The “Life Tree” in Tulum was born from the clients desire to generate a new experience. From a conceptual point of view, in DNA we always aim towards the fusion between art and technology and in this case, we sought the fusion between nature and architecture, which generates the word, as we call it in DNA, “Archi-Nature”. In this way, we take inspiration from the bird’s nests, and from them our design process in DNA begins. This project was more about embracing nature and the jungle in Tulum, rather than the ocean, therefore an iconic project was generated from the desire to create a tree of life, with a centre from which everything revolves around, and where ten nests structures appear. The experience is enhanced by wandering through the place through walk ways, climbing from a walkway to the top of the trees and then you are in your own nest. In the end, today`s tourism has to be more oriented to nature and how to live those unique experiences, so that you return home nourished by exceptional experiences.

Let’s twist again.

The uniqueness of the form is due to its geometrical transformation. The ground floor (0 degrees) becomes, in the last upper floor, 90 degrees twisted orientation.

The other floors are rotated progressively in order to make a smooth twisted movement. Consequently, the Twisted Towers are outstanding landmarks, emphasized by their dynamic shape.

The twisted facade contributes to create a variety of interior spaces depending on the orientation of each floor. Through this strategy, plenty of spaces with quality lighting and views are created.
Furthermore, the buildings are conditioned in the inside to offer all the amenities for a luxurious living in residential apartments, given in different options of typologies.

The structural system of the building, based on an internal rigid core, offers flexibility to the floors. The activity can change from residential to offices or hotel.

The envelope responds to the surroundings and the distribution of the floors. In one side, the facade is full of glass and openings that connect the interior of the apartments with the large terraces. The other side, made of titanium, reflects the sun all day long, emphasizing the building shape through the city skyline.

With the aim to provide the city a non-contaminant building, the facade without terraces has incorporated several photovoltaic panels that generate the energy that the building consumes. The location, sunny the entire year, is perfect for this kind of sustainability solution. In this way, the towers become an almost self-sufficient construction.

The crescent moon plays a significant role in Islamic architecture.
The design and construction of the building are influenced by the principles of Islamic architecture. The orientation of the towers towards the Mecca is adapted to the urban fabric.

We can find indications of various geometric principles: the application of the shapes related to the geometrical principles of the moon.
These residential towers aim is becoming a distinctive addition to the city skyline. The strength of the towers shape and their concept behind will make the complex become an iconic landmark in Riyadh.

A High-end design glass facade with curtain walls helps to mitigate the solar heat while maximizing the daylight. Indoor green spaces and outdoor terraces for tenants create sky gardens and vertical green strips. A natural airflow system is a result of the difference between solids and voids.

Designed after analyzing the different synergies between the moon and the proposed site during various periods of the year, the building embodies beauty and sophistication. The use of parametric software involved in the structure, provides a unique depth in order to appreciate the wide and beautiful panoramic views.

Nature planning

DNA BARCELONA works on residential schemes that offer a better quality of life for communities, genuine value for property developers and a sustainable future for residential buildings.

Nature is the heart of this proposal. The forms remind us about the winding course of a river, the dunes of the desert or the roots of a tree. In such richness of forms will create a great wealth of spaces.

As we go up in height, the buildings get lighter and create open spaces to give sunlight to the public areas. This strategy also offers a variety of housing typologies.

The proposal geometrizes and organizes the volumes of the buildings in natural forms that make up our entire landscape.
