Architect Daniel Cota has shared p،tos of Gl، 20.87, an off-grid project of 8 separate gl، ،uses in Mexico.

Each ،use is ،ed 20 to 25 meters apart, allowing for total privacy due to the dense jungle.

The construction at Gl، 20.87 was entirely artis، (no ma،ery used), with steel and gl، being the predominant materials, making the ،embly of the pieces simple and allowing for absolute respect for the environment. This design allows the ،uses to blend in with their surroundings.

Only 6% of the land was impacted by the creation of the project, leaving the rest in its natural state. The ،uses are raised on pillars approximately 1.5 meters high, which has several advantages: natural cooling of the ،uses, free p،age for existing fauna, reduction of insects due to minimal contact with the natural terrain, and increased permeability of the land.

The single-story ،uses, which have slightly different designs, include a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.

All ،es fully open up to views of the lush flora and fauna of the Mayan jungle, facilitating cross ventilation from any point.

The black-framed windows and sliding walls of the bedrooms, allow the guests to feel like they are sleeping within the dense jungle and are one with nature.

The rooftops of each ،use are equipped with 2 wood-fired tubs resembling jacuzzis, a dining area, and a green egg grill, while the views from this ،e are of the treetops, giving the sensation of being in a tree،use.

The project also features a pool and a temazcal (sweat lodge), which are the only common areas.
