A day at the Artist’s Mansion

The house wakes with the light, which crosses the steel-framed glass and climbs the five-metre walls of raw concrete. The two ateliers hold the working hours, studios built for painting and making rather than converted from bedrooms. The pool and pool house take the heat of the afternoon, and the day ends on the 318 m² rooftop, above the tree line, with the jungle running to every boundary and Gran Cenote four minutes down the road.

The villa sits on the jungle edge near Gran Cenote, on the Tulum–Cobá road just northwest of the town. Tulum’s centre, beach road, and archaeological site are a short drive, and Tulum International Airport (Felipe Carrillo Puerto) is about 20 minutes.

What is the house like?

Carlos Larios built the house in raw concrete and steel-framed glass, a sculptural form under five-metre ceilings, in the vein of the concrete architecture Tulum has become known for. The main house carries three bedrooms and four bathrooms; two art ateliers stand as working studios; and a 318 m² rooftop opens over the canopy. A pool and pool house sit in the grounds. It is delivered fully furnished and turnkey, in the register of architect-led Tulum houses such as Villas Candela.

What comes with the land?

The holding is larger than the house. It sits on one contiguous, already subdivided title of 5,291 m²: two walled compounds separated by jungle, a hectare carrying a partly built shell, and eight platted fractions served by an internal roadway with power and water to the boundary. That structure suits a single family seat across two houses, a wellness, hospitality, or artist-residency project, or the sale of serviced lots, none of which requires dividing the residence.
