Project Description
Sited by the Laguna de los Siete Colores in Mexico, Boca de Agua is the latest hospitality project signed by Charlotte Perriand Award winner and architect Frida Escobedo. The project takes shape as a series of treehouse accommodations that float on pillars for minimal ground impact, framing, and reaching for the vitality of the Yucatán Peninsula. Boca de Agua will open its doors on November 1st, 2023, offering 26 rooms, including 22 suites.
Having recently undertaken the redesign of the MET wing in New York, Frida Escobedo approached this project by following the hotel’s desire to create a place that contributes to environmental, social, and cultural regeneration while offering its guests an equally regenerative experience; the property sits a few steps from the mostly intact jungle, where wildlife freely roams the property. Complementing that tropical atmosphere is a palette of wood, natural light, and neutral tones taking center stage across all 26 accommodations. The entire construction is even designed to age naturally over time and tell its own story.
