Punta Hermosa Master Plan

Urban design that respects water and history

The Punta Hermosa Master Plan responds to the challenges of the coastal territory, integrating resilient urbanism and design inspired by local culture. Its structure respects the geography and optimizes water use.

The project transforms dry creeks into urban axes, incorporates native vegetation and prioritizes sustainability. The proposal seeks to generate walkable neighborhoods, active public spaces and an architecture that strengthens cultural identity, with local materials and urban layouts inspired by pre-Columbian forms.
