In the heart of Puerto Cancún, one of the most exclusive and evocative areas of the Yucatán Peninsula, Alba is born, a residential project that transforms the concept of living into an immersive experience in harmony with the landscape. Situated halfway between the lively city center and the endless blue of the Caribbean Sea, Alba occupies a privileged setting: a large complex featuring luxury residences, a marina equipped for yachts, a golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf (former American golfer), a private beach club, green spaces, boutiques, and restaurants. A place where nature, comfort, and luxury coexist in balance.

Within this setting, the complex stands out for an architecture that never seeks to impose itself but rather engages in dialogue with the surrounding environment, listening to and interpreting it. The project takes shape through 30 residences, including 4 penthouses overlooking the sea. Each home is designed to amplify the connection with the tropical landscape: terraces, arranged in a staggered pattern, flow like gentle waves along the façade, creating a movement that reflects the energy of the place , “a kind of dance, a light and vital gesture that animates the entire building,” as architect Marco Casamonti described it.

The heart of the project is an inner courtyard opening towards the marina, where a pool surrounded by local vegetation creates a small refuge of peace, shade, and coolness. The two main volumes of the building are connected by a large suspended canopy, which unites them without weighing them down, maintaining the sense of lightness and continuity that characterizes the entire project.

Guiding every design choice is the idea of transparency. Large windows, strategic openings, plays of light, and continuous perspectives almost entirely erase the barrier between inside and outside, between living and contemplating. In this way, those who live at Alba are never truly separated from the landscape: they breathe it, walk through it, live it.

Completing the building’s identity, the locally sourced stone chosen for the façade cladding lends materiality and rootedness to the place. Nothing is left to chance: every detail, every finish tells a design approach based on balance, care, and respect for the territory’s identity. At Alba, light, material, and space merge into a unique narrative, where the boundary between home and nature becomes increasingly subtle.
