Santa Maria del Oro
Treehouses are lovely, but they also tend to be small and rather too rustic for our liking. Casa Santa Maria Del Oro is not a treehouse, but rather a house with trees growing through it. The effect is similar, but infinitely more spacious and sophisticated.

The home is perched on a steep slope, which gently makes its way to the water. The home features circular holes that function as light wells, a courtyard, and spaces for trees. The home is slightly embedded within the earth, and topped by a lovely green roof.

Santa Maria del Oro
Anidado en la serena comunidad de Santa María del Oro (Nayarit, México), yace este elemento arquitectónico, una casa de fin de semana que se fusiona cono discreción en el paisaje, respetando su delicado ecosistema y la comunidad local. El origen del proyecto surge de la profunda veneración por cinco árboles ancestrales que se erigen como guardianes del sitio. Se restan formas circulares en el volumen para honrar su presencia, permitiendo que estos gigantes se entrelacen con la vivienda. Esta ética de diseño es un tributo al medioambiente y la comunidad local.

Yucatan is famous among many things for the henequen Haciendas. The industry colapsed with the invention of plastic, leading to many haciendas to be abandoned.
The project established new functions for the old construction, saving all the original elements and combining them with contemporary uses and elements. The site is located in 160 HA of jungle, so the design contemplated a progressive environmental process to take the house to bet zero through the years.
