Casa Tepui, hidden among the tree canopy in Tulum and in the most prestigious gated area of La Privada, is part of the luxury home collection by designer Co-lab. With inspiration derived from the tepuis – flat tabletop mountains – meaning ‘house of the gods’ in the indigenous language of southeastern Venezuela, the home mimics nature with the elevated living space providing visitors a lush green backdrop to the space where most of the time is spent.

Step into this home via an exterior staircase enveloped in natural stone dug from the same land in which the home sits, that brings you through the jungle landscaping and past the pool into the main living areas, nestled in the treetops and elevated one level above the ground to provide the qualities of a treehouse - while delivering the comforts of a modern home. Sliding wooden windows pocket into the walls on three sides, allowing gentle breezes to pass through the space. Wraparound planters with aromatic herbs supply the kitchen with fresh ingredients and perfume the space with scented breezes throughout the day. Banana and papaya trees planted below the elevated living area windows allow fruits to be watched over and picked from the crowns of the trees directly where they grow.  The kitchen, dining, and living room merge in one elongated space that opens to an elevated swimming pool and terrace. The main level also houses a bedroom and office space, plus a full bath.

On the ground floor, 3 en-suite bedrooms open to their own private gardens and terraces. Light, breezy rooms frame the surrounding greenery while moving shadows decorate the walls, creating a peaceful atmosphere optimal for unwinding after a beach day. There is also a utility and laundry area with separate exterior access. The home benefits from an extra ten linear meters of protected tree buffer at the rear of the property, providing pure tranquility and privacy in a natural jungle setting.

The rooftop features a gas and charcoal barbecue, a covered terrace with a dining table, a heated jacuzzi, and ample lounging options for enjoying Tulum’s sunsets and starry nights. The decorations are simple and warm, with bespoke furnishings designed by the architects. A sound system is also connected throughout the home for entertainment.

No trees were cut during the construction of the house. Eleven existent trees were relocated to the perimeter of the lot during construction, reinforcing the green canopy and providing more privacy from neighboring lots. A rainwater collection system, solar panels, and an energy-saving cooling system help reduce the energy load of the house. The materials used respond to the need for durability and low maintenance required by the tropical climate.
