Azulik is a renowned eco-luxury brand from Mexico, celebrated for its unique fusion of sustainability, nature, and art.

Nestled in the lush jungles of Tulum, Azulik offers a range of exquisite accommodations, including treehouse villas that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

The brand emphasizes a harmonious relationship with nature, featuring structures made from locally sourced, organic materials. Azulik is also home to SFER IK, a highly unique multidisciplinary art space that showcases innovative contemporary art and cultural experiences.Its design not only provides a stunning backdrop for these activities but also enhances the sensory experience, making each visit a journey through art and nature.

Specific construction techniques included employing traditional Mayan building methods and utilizing locally-sourced materials like Capote wood for its resilience and minimal environmental impact. These approaches not only preserved the natural landscape but also contributed to the unique aesthetic and sustainability ethos of Azulik. The space was completed in November of 2018 using four different materials:

1.⁠ ⁠ Capote wood from the Yucatan Peninsula

Azulik incorporates the unique and sustainable Capote wood in its construction for its durability and natural resistance to pests, enhancing the resort's ecological harmony and longevity.

2.⁠ ⁠Fiberglass for insulation

Azulik integrates fiberglass in its construction for its lightweight properties, enabling the creation of intricate and eco-friendly architectural designs that harmonize with the natural environment of Tulum.

3.⁠ ⁠ Bejuco Vine native to the jungle

Bejuco vine, native to the jungle surrounding Azulik, is utilized in the resort's construction for its natural flexibility, which allows for the creation of organic shapes and seamless aesthetic integration with the lush environment.

4.⁠ ⁠ Cement

Cement was employed at Azulik in creating the distinctive curved walls that mimic the organic forms found in nature, enhancing the resort's architectural harmony with its jungle surroundings.

Ancestral knowledge of local materials, contributed by Mayan workers, allowed for limited environmental impact. The design of SFER IK developed organically, without architectural planning, to allow for freedom of expression. Using a biomorphic architecture style that draws inspiration from natural forms and patterns, the space emulates shapes, structures, and aesthetics found in living organisms. It features fluid, curvilinear lines, undulating surfaces, and asymmetrical shapes, mirroring the complexity and beauty of nature.
