“El Tizate” Apartment Building

La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit. 2005-2006.

In recent years, the Puerto Vallarta area has experienced an unprecedented real estate boom, particularly along the Rivera Nayarit.

This project is a proposal for a 9,600-square-meter lot located in “El Tizate,” in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, near the junction with the road to Punta Mita.

The project consists of a speculative tower with 70 apartments.  

This project presented three specific challenges to be addressed:

  • The layout of the building’s footprint
  • The layout of the apartments
  • The design of the building’s rear facade.

Given that the site experiences heavy rainfall, a channel was proposed for the southern part of the lot, thereby creating a large central open space.

Surrounding this space, a C-shaped building footprint was proposed, with each apartment offering spectacular views of the ocean and the pools.  

The design layout allows for flexible modules and a central utility core. The rooftop is designated for penthouses and a terrace spa.
