Design of Luxury Houses

As an architect with projects in both the Netherlands and Tulum, Mexico, I work with Stilst to design luxury homes. Homes that find a harmonious balance between aesthetics, functionality and sustainability. At Stilst, we believe that a home is more than just a place to live; it is a sanctuary where you can relax, find strength and connect with your surroundings. In this blog, I share our vision and our approach, as well as our expertise in designing sustainable, luxury homes in special locations.

Sustainability and Luxury: A Balance between Aesthetics and Natural Elements

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in modern architecture. In my projects I integrate sustainable materials, such as native wood and locally produced travertine, which are not only environmentally friendly but also provide a unique look. For example, in Tulum we use the local ‘chukum’ stucco, a traditional plastering technique that provides a subtle, cream-colored finish. The result is a style that not only exudes luxury, but also respects and reflects the natural environment.

A House That Breathes with Nature

Our designs, whether in the Netherlands or Tulum, are often characterized by generous outdoor spaces that strengthen the connection with nature. For example, we create centrally located patios that function as the heart of the home. These types of spaces offer the residents the feeling of connecting the inside and outside, creating a relaxed, natural atmosphere. For clients in Tulum, where the climate is warm almost all year round, I design shaded outdoor spaces that offer protection from the sun while maintaining a luxurious atmosphere.

Why Choose Stilst?

Our approach at Stilst is personal and focused on the client’s wishes. For example, if you are considering building a villa in Tulum for rental or personal use, I will guide you through the entire process, from choosing a suitable building plot to designing a unique, sustainable home. My experience in both the Dutch and Mexican real estate markets allows me to provide tailor-made advice, so that your home not only has a high aesthetic value, but is also attractive for tourists and short-term rentals.

The Benefits of an International Architecture Perspective

By combining my work in different countries, a unique cross-pollination of ideas is created. The warm climate of Tulum inspires the creation of homes with indoor-outdoor experiences that you would hardly see in the Netherlands. At the same time, I bring Dutch elements such as sleek design and functional aesthetics into my designs in Mexico. This creates a unique style that feels both sophisticated and worldly and is a perfect fit for people who are looking for a home that inspires and relaxes them.

Inspiration for your own sustainable luxury home

Whether you dream of a modern villa in Tulum or a home in the Netherlands that enriches your daily life, I am happy to help you make your vision a reality. By paying attention to every phase of the design and construction process, we ensure that your home perfectly matches your lifestyle and wishes.
