Home away from home is the vibe a lot of design projects seem to be after these days. So what happens when the project is actually a fractional ownership development, like the Fairmont Heritage Place, Mayakoba (which debuts six of a planned 30 villas on March 20)? If you ask architectural firm SB-Architect and interior design firm VR Design Group, the answer is simple: Design a chicly contemporary space that feels like an aspirational house. If most houses had living walls, that is.
Beyond the “wow” of unexpected elements like that, though, the team stuck to the building blocks of modern design — locally sourced materials and strong shapes. Neutral colors add a low-key grounding to the textured elements in the guestrooms. Brighter artwork in the lounge adds visual pop without being overly formal.
“This is another exciting addition to Fairmont’s residential collection and a very attractive opportunity for anyone looking to own a vacation home in a truly pristine part of the world,” said Kevin Frid, president, Americas, FRHI Hotels & Resorts. “Fairmont Heritage Place really does provide owners with the best of both worlds by combining the prestige and convenience of a fully deeded vacation home with the dedicated services and amenities of a Fairmont hotel.”
