Casa Maracuyá is a villa located in Tulum, designed with 4 bedrooms—2 on the ground floor and 2 on the upper floor, the house is connected by exterior hallways. The villa spans 310 m² of construction on a 270 m² lot. The architectural concept centers around the idea of vacationing in a tropical, fresh, and Caribbean setting. Inspired by the exotic fruit passion fruit, the design incorporates a yellow “passion fruit tone” in the pigmented cement. Natural ventilation ensures constant freshness throughout the villa, while the tropical ambiance is enhanced by a central patio and pool surrounded by lush jungle vegetation. The façade features a distinctive “Mexican” feel, using lattices and cactus for a diverse aesthetic. Casa Maracuyá exemplifies architecture in Tulum, showcasing the expertise of Paulina Villa Arquitectura in building unique, tropical houses in Tulum.
