On two different plots of land in Puerto Cancún, one of the largest real estate developments in Cancún, we designed two single-family homes for equal investment purposes, which we mirrored, to take advantage of the characteristics of both locations. The project was distributed over 3 levels on a 159 m2 plot of land, giving a total of 242 m2 built respecting the standards set by the Laguna 1 subdivision.
The public areas were located on the ground floor. A generous living room and dining room connected to the kitchen, which in turn also communicates with the rear terrace, the barbecue area and the pool. It has parking for two cars.
The bedrooms were distributed on the upper floor, two with a full bathroom and closet and the main one with a full bathroom, dressing room and terrace. On the roof level there is a TV room connected to a terrace, in addition to the laundry and utility room.
Following the guidelines established in the subdivision design regulations, the facades are dominated by flattened, cement-sand and the coatings will be natural stone or porcelain tile, in neutral gray and sand tones. The exterior floors in the front will be made of black cement pavers, while the floors in the backyard, as well as the terraces on the first and second levels, will be made of gray porcelain tile.
For the interiors, a flattened cement-sand mixture painted white was defined for the walls, Veracruz travertine marble format 30 cm by free widths on the floors and the ceilings will be flattened plaster or drywall, depending on the area where they are located, painted color white.
The exterior gates will be made of dark gray European profiles, with 6mm clear glass. The railings on terraces will be made of 9 mm thick tempered glass. The general carpentry on doors, closets, dressing rooms, and bathroom furniture will be drum with natural walnut veneer. A pergola on the roof terrace, made up of metal profiles with dark gray automotive lacquer, will be the main ironwork element. The kitchen will have a dark gray porcelain floor, with high and low cabinets made of 19 mm MDF with white PVC. The work surfaces and the island will be made of 2 cm granite slab in absolute black.
