HOTEL & HOSPITALITY DESIGN — PLAYA DEL CARMEN

Hotels, glamping, hostels, retail —
designed, built, opened.

One studio for hospitality projects in Playa del Carmen: concepts you approve before you sign, furniture built locally, construction crews and guest technology — first sketch to opening day.

No. 2 — See It Before You Sign

Concepts and renders of your actual property.

Before any contract, you see the finished space: a concept book with materials, furniture and room-by-room renders of your property — not stock imagery. Hotels approve a sample room first; sites approve a sample unit. What you sign is what gets built.

  • You approve one presentation, one budget
  • First build a sample room or unit
  • Renders your rooms, not a portfolio

No. 3 — Furniture Built Locally

Beds, tables and counters no other property has.

Guest-room beds, dining tables, bar counters and bunks are built locally in Quintana Roo.

  • Spec hospitality-grade finishes and fabrics
  • Replacements from the same local makers, on call

No. 4 — Design-Build Construction

Our own crews carry it through to opening.

Pools, bars, decks, facades and finishes — built by the studio’s own crews, phased so an operating property keeps selling nights while we work. One contract covers design, construction and installation; nothing is lost between an architect and a contractor.

  • Crews ours — nothing subcontracted blind
  • Phasing you keep operating
  • Contract one, covering design to install

No. 5 — Guest Technology

Wi-Fi, entry and sound guests never think about.

Starlink-backed internet that holds a full house, smart locks with per-guest codes and self check-in, lighting scenes and sound tuned per space. Installed by the same team, hidden in the architecture, handed over with instructions your staff can actually use.

No. 6How A Project Runs
01

Walk the property

On site with you — rooms, common areas, the arrival. You get a straight read on what raises the rate and what can wait.

02

Concept & sample

Concept book, renders and one budget. A sample room or unit is built first, so the look and the cost per key are fixed in writing.

03

Build & fit-out

Makers and crews run in parallel, phased around your calendar. An operating property keeps taking guests.

04

Open

Styled, photographed, technology handed over. The listing photos and the rooms match.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you take projects outside Playa del Carmen?

Yes — across the Riviera Maya, quoted individually for travel and logistics.

Is there a minimum project size?

Quoted per project. A single glamping deck and a forty-key hotel are both real briefs here — tell us the scope and we’ll tell you what it takes.

Can I hire you for just one part?

Yes. FF&E only, technology only, one bar, one shopfront. Each page above is a door into the same team — enter through the one you need.

Can you work with our architect?

Yes. We slot in as interior and FF&E lead, or as the design-build crew executing their drawings. Either way, one point of contact on our side.

How long does a fit-out take?

It depends on scope — a retail interior moves faster than a full hotel. The concept book fixes your timeline in writing before the build starts, and we sequence work around your trading calendar.

How is a project priced?

Per project, in writing, in the concept book — design, build, FF&E and technology itemised. No published rate card, no surprises after signature.
