Alegria Palace is a residence located in Brisas de Zicatela, Santa Maria Colotepec, Oaxaca. Its name was chosen based on the sensations it seeks to evoke in its users and the inspiration from the selected architectural style, reminiscent of the palaces of North Africa. The main vision was to create a residence exclusively oriented towards rental. To achieve this goal and provide an attractive experience for tourists, the architectural design was inspired by a Moroccan style, aiming to attract both local and foreign tourists through a high-value visual and sensory aesthetic in one of Mexico’s most popular vacation destinations.
The project offers the opportunity to inhabit a foreign architectural space in Mexico for local tourism. Additionally, for the foreign market, it provides the possibility to experience the Pacific Ocean of southwestern Mexico in a unique space within the coastal city. Today, Alegria Palace has exceeded all economic expectations, as the project surpassed the client’s expectations due to its originality in the locality, achieving a 95% occupancy rate during high vacation seasons.
Alegria Palace was built in a record time of 7 months, which represents a remarkable achievement in one of the states with the greatest economic lag, according to Mexican economic censuses, and in one of the cities with the most construction and real estate regulations, according to municipal statistics at the national level. Additionally, the construction presented certain unique challenges, such as the rendering of walls due to the irregular natural topography of the land, the work on the Moroccan-style arches, and the scarce qualified labor in the area.
The positive impact of this building on its environment is one of its most significant characteristics. Since its completion, pre-existing residential projects have sought ways to renovate; new constructions, on the other hand, have significantly increased to compete within a market with high vacation demand.
The project’s design is intended to accommodate four people, offering two bedrooms with their own bathroom and walk-in closet. One of the bedrooms has a bathtub to provide a relaxing and luxurious experience. The house also features a living room, kitchen, dining room, half bathroom, garage, utility room, storage room, pool, and open area for sunbathing. The design aims to provide all the comforts and luxuries in finishes and materials for its occupants.
The materials used in the structure and finishes are mainly brick, plastered with natural earths and pigments. The color palette was selected in accordance with the Moroccan style, evoking the earth tones and woods common in that country. The central space of the house is the pool, around which the rest of the project develops, featuring a mosaic of green and white diamonds that reinforce the dialogue with North African architecture. Additionally, it has patios, terraces, and balconies on the ground floor and first level that allow the occupants to enjoy the views and the climate.
The furniture and art were personally selected by the owner. Some of these pieces were brought from Africa to complement the chosen style and provide an additional connection between the various origins of the different elements of inspiration from this continent. The house features unique details, such as antique wooden doors recovered from southwestern Mexico, a distinctive characteristic of projects by Garquiteg, creating a material dialogue between both styles, and copper sinks that chromatically blend with the interior walls and ceilings.
The vegetation was chosen to promote an active beach environment that meets the desert. For the first task, endemic palms of Oaxaca were selected; for the second, cacti were used in planters near the walls to strengthen this complementary dialogue.
Alegria Palace is a project that meets all the expectations of a luxury rental residence. The proposal creates a residence with a distinctive and exotic style, using local construction materials and techniques, becoming an example of functional integration throughout all elements of the project between Moroccan and local influences.
