Mexico’s Amelia Tulum is where ‘the architecture becomes part of the jungle’

Amelia tulum, a residential project in mexico where low volumes mix with greenery and mexican jungle.

Amelia Tulum, a new residential project by Mexico City-based studio Sordo Madaleno, takes a different approach to blending nature and architecture; here, the architects hope that 'architecture becomes part of the jungle', the practice writes. The project, set within the Riviera Maya's Aldea Zamá, a part of the country awash with historical sites, cenotes (sinkholes) and leafy jungle, was conceived to provide a human-centred dwelling for its inhabitants while respecting its precious context.
