The region\u2019s humid-subtropical climate, characterized by high humidity and temperatures consistently above 26\u00b0C, plays a significant role in shaping both the economic landscape and the architectural response.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The area functions as a transitional zone for migrant workers from Haiti, Mexico, Central, and South America. These workers often establish makeshift accommodations, resulting in substandard living conditions. The architectural intervention aims to address this issue by providing a system of temporary housing that adapts to the local climate and working conditions. Two sites, Caracol and Santa Rosa, were selected for implementation. Caracol primarily accommodates single individuals, while Santa Rosa is designated for families. The modular system includes four main typologies: worker module, family module, cooking module, and cleaning module. These modules are arranged to complement one another and are integrated into the plantation layout to minimize environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>all images by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cesarbejarstudio.com\/\">Cesar Bejar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Bamboo facades clad the units\u2019 reinforced concrete framework<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design is oriented parallel to the plantation rows to align with the rubber tree grid and maximize the shading effect of the existing vegetation, reducing direct solar exposure on the rooftops. The system utilizes reinforced concrete frames elevated above ground level to facilitate cross-ventilation beneath the structures. This elevation also helps limit heat and moisture transfer from the ground into the buildings. Bamboo, which is locally available, is used for the facades to provide both ventilation and visual privacy. Hollow concrete blocks form the interior partitions, while bamboo frames rest on reinforced concrete beams to support the roofing system. Roofs are designed with a reflective finish to reduce heat absorption and include integrated chimneys for passive heat extraction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/manuelcervantes.com.mx\/\">design team<\/a><\/strong> at Manuel Cervantes Estudio prioritizes passive environmental strategies to achieve bioclimatic efficiency, including the use of natural shading, cross-ventilation, and material choices responsive to local conditions.
