The Tulum National Park project aims to create a protected area that promotes the environmental regeneration of local flora and fauna while offering a variety of attractions to meet the needs of the native population and tourism in the region.

Through a comprehensive approach, the architectural, mobility, and urban program has been designed to ensure the preservation of Tulum’s natural and cultural environment while encouraging sustainable and environmentally friendly development.

Roles: Senior Landscape Architect / Project Coordinator

The park offers a wide range of activities that allow visitors to interact with nature, such as hiking trails, bird watching, and conservation programs. Additionally, measures have been implemented for the protection and recovery of local biodiversity, including the reintroduction of native species and the restoration of natural habitats.

Involvement: • Cartographic Analysis • Planning Team in Master Plan • Hydrological Design • Landscape Design • Executive Project • Graphic Representation • 3D Modeling • Client Meetings • Integration of Engineering Aspects

In terms of mobility, the use of non-motorized means of transport, such as bicycles and pedestrian paths, has been prioritized, thus reducing the carbon footprint and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

The urban design of the park has been integrated, combining sustainable architecture with local cultural elements to create a unique and authentic experience.

The Tulum National Park represents an exemplary model of sustainable development that combines environmental regeneration, cultural preservation, and the satisfaction of the needs of the local community and visitors.

The Cabo Park project in San José del Cabo is an innovative tourist complex designed to harmoniously integrate with the natural environment and promote sustainable practices.

It comprises a restaurant, a campground, and an exclusive beach club, offering visitors unique and authentic experiences.

One of the highlights of Cabo Park is its focus on a positive relationship with the surrounding ecosystem. Through intelligent landscape design, productive areas of edible gardens have been created, providing fresh, local food for guests. Additionally, a program to regenerate degraded areas has been implemented to restore and preserve local biodiversity.

To address water-related challenges, Cabo Park has incorporated infiltration and reuse strategies. Rainwater harvesting systems and infiltration techniques have been implemented to recharge local aquifers and reduce surface runoff. Moreover, a wetland treatment system has been integrated for water reuse, promoting conservation and efficient use of the water resource.

The project stands out for its holistic and sustainable approach to interacting with the natural environment. By creating productive spaces, regenerating the landscape, and implementing innovative water management solutions, Cabo Park offers a unique tourist experience that respects and values the local ecosystem of San José del Cabo

The environmental regeneration project in La Cañada, located in Mexico City, represents an innovative approach that comprehensively addresses the diverse environmental, social, and political dynamics present in this area. By combining hydrology and landscape design, we aim to promote the regeneration and integration of new productive ecosystem areas while encouraging the active participation of local residents and tenants already working in the area.

A fundamental aspect of our approach is community engagement, which has been at the heart of the design process. We have engaged with the local community to understand their needs and aspirations, integrating these perspectives into the environmental regeneration project. We believe in empowering local inhabitants and leveraging their traditional knowledge to build sustainable and culturally relevant solutions.

La Cañada will become an exemplar of how nature and society can coexist harmoniously.

Through the creation of productive ecosystem areas, such as community gardens and agricultural spaces, we aim to generate employment, promote food security, and enhance biodiversity. Additionally, we consider it crucial to integrate existing residents and tenants into the regeneration process, ensuring they directly benefit from the improvements made in their environment.

This project transcends conventional boundaries and stands as a stellar model of sustainable development, where different sectors and stakeholders converge in pursuit of a common goal: environmental regeneration and improving the quality of life for all inhabitants of La Cañada.

The implementation of urban projects with a focus on equity, sustainability, economic development, and mobility designed for people is crucial for the development of our cities.

The goal of this project is urban connectivity through a linear park that prioritizes non-motorized mobility (pedestrians and cyclists) accompanied by an environmental proposal. Prioritizing infrastructure that promotes equity and enhances the quality of life for the residents of Hermosillo.

The project serves as an integrating axis for various urban facilities dedicated to sports, public spaces, and environmental significance. The proposal includes the improvement and widening of sidewalks, construction of a two-way cycle path, seating areas, and public lighting accompanied by a landscape proposal that provides environmental services to the city of Hermosillo. The proposed minimum width for sidewalks is 2m, with a minimum width of 50cm for green infrastructure with shrub species and a minimum width of 1m for green infrastructure with tree species. The width of the two-way cycle path is 2.50m or 1.25m for each direction. For vehicle lanes, a minimum width of 2.70m is contemplated to help reduce speed in certain areas.

The project spans approximately 9km with varying street widths as the linear park/cycle path integrates into the urban environment, understanding the surrounding dynamics and establishing urban improvement.

Through the development of this project, it becomes evident that the proposal for this linear park is necessary as it will connect various economically, sports, residential, and environmentally significant areas of Hermosillo. This will pave the way for comprehensive mobility and the enhancement of the quality of public spaces, aspects increasingly present in cities striving to create an environmental, urban, economic, and social balance.
