Summary
Gris | Estudio de Diseño + Arquitectura designed Rosa Jamaica Beach Club in El Paredón Buena Vista, Guatemala, using a fragmented architectural approach. Instead of a single large waterfront building, the 1,750-square-meter project distributes a restaurant, bars, event spaces, yoga studio, and recreational facilities across a network of open-air pavilions. The design prioritizes environmental sensitivity along Guatemala's Pacific coastline by maintaining continuity with the natural landscape through this decentralized, naturally cooled layout.
