Navaja arises from a sharp gesture: cutting from the expected to reinterpret Mexican tradition through architecture. Its spaces are shaped with natural, handcrafted materials—chukum, clay, stone, terrazzo, pasta tile, wood, wicker, marble, brick—that interact with warm and colorful lighting whose subtle tonal variations shape the atmosphere. The building is wrapped in tropical vegetation endemic to Tabasco, embracing its humid climate. Murals, a core element of Mexican art, dress the interior and exterior alongside angular volumes and terraces where culture reflects both memory and roots.
