The architectural proposals in the developments on the coast take into account materials that fit perfectly with the climate conditions and contribute to the conservation and protection of the flora and fauna. From the “adobe” which keeps a fresh sensation, to the “palma” which decorates the protruding palapas in different houses. This is what the relationship between architecture and sustainability means; long-term growth without causing damage to the environment and ecosystems and achieving a balanced development by making efficient use of natural resources renewable and non-renewable.

As human beings, we need to be conscious of the responsibility we have for the elements of our ecosystems, thinking about our actions and the impact they will have on our environment.
