Casa 'Koalos' is located in the commercial area of Aldea Zama, Tulum, Quintana Roo, on a 114 m² lot with a construction area of 230 m². The project features two apartments, one on each level, each with two bedrooms, and a third level with a roof garden and pool. The clients aimed to evoke tranquility, incorporating a rear garden with a fountain and a large stone wall to generate the soothing sound of falling water. A large tree in this small garden enhances this serene atmosphere.

The materials chosen include polished surfaces for the fixed furniture, emphasizing functionality and low maintenance, blending modern design with a peaceful retreat, aligning with the architectural trends of Tulum. Designed to showcase the potential for houses in Tulum to integrate seamlessly with their natural surroundings while providing confortable living spaces.

This thoughtful approach to building in Tulum creates a harmonious balance between contemporary living and the tranquil, tropical environment. Casa 'Koalos' stands as a testament to innovative design, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical comfort in one of Tulum's most sought-after locations.
