Nāmas Tulum masterfully incorporates a variety of architectural inspirations and local materials into its design. The project takes cues from the geometric structures of the Mitla pyramids in Oaxaca, and notably integrates design elements inspired by the top of Chichen Itza’s temple. The use of traditional Mayan chukum materials for the walls and floors, noted for their natural waterproof qualities and smooth finish, enhances the connection to Mayan heritage. Local woods such as yaxnik and tzalam, along with caliz rocks, further emphasize the regional authenticity. Designed by mexican architects Barbapiña with artistic contributions from Emanuel Picault´s Chic by Accident and co-creative direction by Valman, this blend of ancient inspiration and modern design elements creates a profound link between the structure and its visitors, offering a contemporary tribute to historical architecture where art and living merge seamlessly.
