We are particularly grateful to be honored for a project located on the Yucatan Peninsula where we proudly have a studio. We crafted the design of the ATELIER hotel experience with the beauty and simplicity of that landscape in mind. A calming, subdued material palette pervades every space allowing the guest to appreciate the unspoiled natural vegetation that surrounds. The rooms are sanctuary-like, celebrating craftsmanship and the artisanal hand and providing a place for respite and inspiration.”

With ATELIER Playa Mujeres, I was interested in a contemporary combination that celebrates the material simplicity of the Yucatan with the natural beauty of this coastal location. A sense of luxury can be made with simple materials like stone, chukum and wood when done in harmony with nature. ATELIER Playa Mujeres is a new expression of Mexican luxury.”
