Studio Visits: CO-TA Arquitectura

Heading up the Tulum-based CO-TA Architecture is Paulina Villa who was born in La Paz, Baja California Sur, but grew up in Monterrey. Not intending to open a practice in Tulum, she found herself lured in by exciting opportunities and convinced to stay by the ease and simplicity of the transition to the Caribbean coast. The office, which involves a small team of full time staff and a network of regular freelancers and contractors in the local area are currently working on a number of hotels spread along the coast, as well as residential and commercial projects inland.

Based in the town of Tulum they share their office with a clothing atelier and a digital arts studio specializing in animation, mixed media and virtual reality. I met up with the team to find more about how the local environment informs their work and what the next steps for CO-TA Arquitectura are.
