Located at the heart of Puebla state mountains, an area of great natural beauty and rugged topography, inhabited mainly by indigenous nahuatl and totonacas. The project answers to the needs of expansion of the local network of alternative tourism TosepanKali complementing the services offered by the existing hotel. Sited at a former quarry the building is shaped in an organic geometry to dialog and adapt with the context. Conceived to create the less impact possible on the site, the program is placed into different level terraces adapting the space into the existing topography.  The materials used was locally manufactured like adobe earth block, quarry stone, structural bamboo. It also includes eco-friendly technologies like a natural swimming pool, rain water usage, and onsite waste water treatment.
