A ONE-OF-A KIND ARCHITECTURAL SANCTUARY
Some places make every moment feel like a cherished memory in the making. ALMA is one of them, an intimate residence where you can truly connect with Huatulco’s abundant nature and enjoy the blurred boundaries between the indoors and outdoors.
THE ESSENCE OF HUATULCO
ALMA is nestled in an area of Huatulco that reflects its very essence: abundant nature.
On the west side of the city, the "Camino Escénico", ALMA’s neighborhood, will become the first area dedicated to architecture and nature.
An unprecedented experience on the coast of Oaxaca awaits.
EL CAMINO ESCÉNICO
(SCENIC ROAD)
While seemingly secluded, ALMA is located just minutes from La Crucecita, and 20 minutes from an international airport.
The community will be developed on a 3.6 ha (9 ac) south facing lot, made of two small hills with slopes gently going all the way down to the ocean, guaranteeing a variety of sea views from the properties.
Positioned at the doorstep of the National Park, surrounded by three gorgeous beaches, miles of biking lanes, and close to world-class amenities, you are guaranteed to return home filled with peace every time you step out.
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
ALMA is located in an area that will be developed with the same vision in mind: low-density, care for the landscape, and climate-responsive design.
In other words, the environment, neighborhood, density, views, architectural type, and presence of nature will be carefully controlled and preserved, thereby avoiding any unwelcome surprises.
MEXICAN MODERN ARCHITECTURE
ELEVATING YOUR LIFE IN HUATULCO
True luxury lies in delicately balancing space, privacy, and peace.
This is why we have created an architectural environment that underscores its spectacular surroundings and truly focuses on views, nature, silence, intimacy, and space, offering a one-of-a-kind residence that elevates your living experience in Huatulco.
"Listen to the place, it will tell you what to do..."
Jose Juan Rivera Rio, co-architect of ALMA
“One of the most important aspects I consider when designing, is to respect what happens around. I like to analyze and listen to the place, the context and the moment; I believe that architecture speaks for itself, it can be felt, seen and touched”.
BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES
BETWEEN THE INDOORS AND OUTDOORS
The residence unobtrusively combines Mexican architecture with the raw beauty of the Pacific coastline. Pure lines impart a sense of weightlessness to the design, enhanced by floor to ceiling sliders that blur the boundary between the indoors and outdoors while preserving comfort.
​
Architecture is not material, it is an experience.
CARING FOR NATURE
We firmly believe that architecture has to honor nature rather than reshape it. Our approach reflects a deep respect for the environment,
focusing on low-density sustainable development.
​
In other words, as much as ALMA is about creating beautiful spaces, it is also about being good stewards of the land that hosts it.
