Fosil Tulum  is a classical yet modern housing complex in Tulum, Mexico, by Terreo Studio. As a tribute to classical architecture, the composition of the arches makes the facade of the four-story condominium distinctive. According to the studio’s exploration, the desired attributes were: an open kitchen, living area, sky-high ceilings, a strong connection to nature, and a private outdoor living area with a swimming pool.
The studio created a building that resembles a modern ruin, a mysterious building with simple, clean lines that is both in keeping with tulum’s native style and distinctive. The sculptural clash of the arches outlined a magnificent view of the jungle. In another of the three top-floor bedrooms, a side table is made of volcanic stone. The bathroom walls and integral vanity are also painted with Chukum stucco; The mortar on the countertops is a classical design, originating from a Mayan village.Distinguished from the outside is a local stone embedded with tiny fossils, which inspired the name of the development.
