Biomimicry leads design on the Oaxaca coast

Casa Káni Íní, designed by TAC Taller Alberto Calleja, is a seaside retreat on Mexico’s Oaxaca coast that employs biomimicry principles and strategic use of wood to harmonize with its environment. The design consists of multiple independent structures, reminiscent of natural formations, to minimize environmental impact and enhance integration with the landscape. A continuous nave, constructed with a mixed wood and concrete structure, serves as the social and recreational area, oriented towards the beach and Pacific Ocean. This approach not only ensures structural integrity but also fosters a strong connection to nature, aligning with the project’s biomimetic intentions.
