V Taller's Babel project in Tulum reimagines tourism development through a site-sensitive approach that references the biblical Tower of Babel. It features a 59-unit complex arranged around an elliptical courtyard, blending the natural jungle setting with architecture. Utilizing vertical cores minimizes land use, promoting environmental restoration while accommodating diverse living experiences. The design, inspired by hammam typologies, integrates natural materials and light, creating introspective spaces that reconnect visitors with nature. Babel stands as a testament to adaptability in the face of future climatic changes and evolving tourism needs.
At the fringe of Tulum's rapidly evolving landscape, V Taller architecture firm redefines what a tourism development can be with Babel, an establishment shaped by the jungle, mythology, and climate resilience.
The project departs from superficial symbolism to offer a deeper, site-sensitive response, resulting in a vertically composed complex of 59 units organized around an elliptical courtyard.
The studio opts for vertical circulation cores to minimize land use and regenerate native vegetation, supporting environmental restoration and commercial viability.
The cylindrical structure draws from the typology of the hammam, using filtered natural light and material tactility to create an atmosphere of introspection.
