About Secrets and Impression Moxche 호텔
시크릿츠 앤 임프레션 목스체(Secrets and Impression Moxche)는 14만 제곱미터에 이르는 부지에서 현대적 디자인과 문화유산을 융합하여 리비에라 마야의 럭셔리를 재정의한다. 이 프로젝트는 세노테에서 영감을 받은 수영장, 옥상 인피니티 풀, 인공 비치 풀을 통합하여 자연의 아름다움 속으로의 몰입감을 한층 끌어올린다. 현지에서 조달한 자재와 하지·동지의 태양 궤도를 기준으로 설정한 배치 계획은 건축과 주변 환경을 긴밀하게 연결한다. 자연 환기, 에너지 효율 시스템, 빗물 저장 및 재활용 등 지속가능한 요소들은 친환경적 설계 원칙을 잘 보여준다. 목스체는 건축과 자연을 조화롭게 아우르며 호스피탈리티 분야의 새로운 기준을 제시한다.
