CAAM + Arquitectos Designs Suuel Hotel with Sandy Courtyard in Puerto Escondido
By
Dan Howarth
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
CAAM + Arquitectos designed the Suuel hotel in Puerto Escondido, Mexico, featuring a sandy inner courtyard that allows guests to experience the space through their feet. The adults-only boutique hotel is clad in dark grey chukum (a local construction material) and surrounded by nim trees that provide shade and partially conceal the building. The design emphasizes sensory experience and integration with the local environment.
