環境再生を進めるリゾート「プラヤビバ」

プラヤビバはエネルギーの100%を太陽光発電でまかなっており、完全にオフグリッドで運営されている。また、地域社会と連携し、健康と教育を支援するとともに、土地の回復と活性化に取り組んでいるリゾートである。

そのプラヤビバに新しく施設を建築するにあたり、環境へのポジティブなインパクトが不可欠であった。

竹のリゾート施設がつくる「エコラグジュアリー」

プラヤビバの最新施設〈バンブー・ツリーハウス・ビレッジ〉はヤシの木の上に建っており、近くの海岸を回遊するイトマキエイの平らな体からインスピレーションを得ている。

建物を覆う屋根は大きな傘のように強い日差しをさえぎり、雨からも内部を守る。また、ルーバーで構成されたファサードにより、自然換気を可能にしている。

汎用性の高いエコ建材「竹」

〈バンブー・ツリーハウス・ビレッジ〉の大部分は、急速に成長する再生可能な建築材料である地元の竹でつくられており、さまざまな用途に使用できる汎用性の高さを表している。

主構造と屋根構造には丈夫な南米の竹「グアドゥア」を用い、ファサードのルーバーには短冊状のもの、天井には平らに成形した竹パネルが使用されている。

別棟の壁とファサードパネルには、中国を原産とする「ホテイチク」を使用し、床材には持続可能な方法で栽培された地元のクマル材を使用している。

〈バンブー・ツリーハウス・ビレッジ〉の全体的なデザインは、パンデミックを経て高まっている、「自然環境に囲まれた刺激的で健康的な宿泊施設に滞在したい」という旅行者の願望に沿うよう意図している。

波の音を聞き、暖かい夕焼けを浴び、ヤシの葉を揺らす風を感じ、ビーチに吊るされたハンモックで星空を眺めながら潮風を味わうことができるリゾート施設である。

Atelier Nomadic, the design studio at Nomadic Resorts, has designed a series of bamboo treehouses at Playa Viva, an environmentally conscious resort dedicated to sustainability and regenerative practices. Positive impact is integral to the Playa Viva experience, which is run entirely off-grid and generating 100% of its energy from solar power. The resort works extensively with the local community to support health and education and works year-round to restore and revitalize the surrounding land. The resort is the founding member of the Regenerative Travel organization and founded and supports the La Tortuga Viva turtle sanctuary.

The resorts latest extension includes 6 bamboo treehouses inspired by the flattened, prismatic bodies of the Mobula Rays that migrate past the properties shore. Scattered along the Mexican coastline, the treehouses are perched on coconut palms overlooking the surf. Each treehouse is composed from a master bedroom at the front and an annex treehouse at the rear that contains the bathroom downstairs and a second bedroom/lounge upstairs.

The treehouses are developed using bioclimatic design principles to suit the natural environment: the large eaves of the roof act like a big umbrella, providing shade for the strong heat of the sun and protection from heavy rains. The façade louvers allow for natural cross ventilation.

The structures are mostly built from local bamboo, one of the fastest growing renewable building materials in the world, and showcase the wide variety in which this versatile materials can be used. Strong Guadua bamboo poles were used for the main structure and roof structure, section strips were used in the façade louvers and flattened bamboo panels form the ceiling. Phyllostachis Aurea bamboo poles and dowels were used for the wall and façade panels in the annex building. Flooring is made of sustainably grown local Cumaru timber.

The holistic design was intended to align with the expected post COVID travelers’ desire to stay in exciting, healthy accommodation, immersed in the natural environment. After months of isolation and lock downs, here, guests can be submerged and re-connect with the natural environment: listen to the sound of the waves, bath in the warm sunset tones, feel the breeze sway through the palm leaves and taste the salt air, unmasked, as they lounge on the hammock suspended over the beach, staring at the stars.
