A new Oaxacan retreat, formed as a complex of villas, is the latest work by Mexico City-based practice Bloqe Arquitectura, a studio founded by Jorge Esquer Luque. Titled Casa Caimán, the project is located idyllically between the sea and a lagoon on Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Bloqe specialises in urban residential projects in the capital city, but its first foray to the seaside reveals that its focus on detailed design, natural materials and interior-exterior spaces is perfectly adapted to the more open surroundings of Barra de Navidad, a small coastal town to the south of Santa María Colotepec.
