Situated in the tropical rain forests of the Riviera Maya, bounded to the south by the biodiverse Sian Ka’an preserve, our team embarked on the design of Casa Oleaje using principles from the fields of bioengineering and architecture. During the design process, we incorporated engineering techniques to create a holistic environment which encourages recovery and neurological flow states. Additionally, the timeless architectural style creates a space to separate the occupant from the currents of modernity. We believe the lessons learned during the design can be adopted by other buildings to achieve the same benefits.
