No. 01 — Living & Dining

Villa living rooms that open to the jungle.

Sliding walls, wood ceilings, a dining table for twelve and a lounge that faces the green. We design the room and the threshold — the terrace is the same floor, the same light, the same idea.

  • Scope Living · dining · kitchen · threshold
  • Furniture Built to each room
  • Style Five directions, or yours

No. 02 — Pool & Terraces

Villa pools and terraces designed with the house, not after it.

Palapas and outdoor rooms — the villa’s other living room.

—How It Works

How villa interior design is run.

Whole-property design for villas on the Riviera Maya — interiors, outdoor rooms and everything between them.

ch05 03 — walk the property01

Tell us how you will use it

A call first. A villa lives on its terrace as much as its living room, so we want to hear how you will use both before we plan either — indoors and out, in the same brief.

ch01 10 — one concept for the whole house02

One concept for the whole house

Every room, the terrace, the pool deck and the palapa drawn together, in one material palette, with one budget.

ch10 02 — built in the right order03

Built in the right order

Construction and joinery before interiors, cabling before the walls close, furniture last. One team sequencing it means no trade undoing another.

FAQ

Villa design — questions, answered.

Do you design the whole villa or just the interiors?

The whole property, if you want it — interiors, terraces, pool, palapa, gardens and lighting — because the same studio builds the construction and makes the furniture. You can also bring us in for interiors alone.

How long does a villa take?

The build is phased in one written schedule — interiors first, pool and palapa in parallel — so the house is usable early.

Can you work with my architect or builder?

Yes. We regularly design the interiors and outdoor rooms for villas under construction, coordinating with the architect so the furniture, lighting and finishes are planned before the plaster goes on.

How do you handle a villa that is also a rental?

We design for both: owner-grade design, turnover-grade materials where guests touch, and a photography plan for the listing. The studio is the design arm of PlayaStays, a property management leader in the Riviera Maya. We know what books.

What does villa design cost?

It depends on the scope. Send the plans and how you will use the property; we return a phased, itemised proposal within a week.

Where do you work?

Playa del Carmen, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Puerto Aventuras and along the coast to Cancún. our makers are in Playa del Carmen.
