Set 120 meters inland from the shoreline, the house is positioned to protect native dunes and vegetation, integrating architecture with the surrounding coastal ecosystem. The residence is organized as a series of single-story <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">wooden<\/a><\/strong> volumes interwoven with gardens, creating a porous boundary between indoors and outdoors. This arrangement draws inspiration from the spatial rhythms of traditional Mexican haciendas, reinterpreted in a contemporary, low-impact form that prioritizes connection with the landscape. Sustainability guided the material approach. More than 95% of the structure is built from renewable wood, including framework, roofing, windows, and doors, reducing reliance on heavier structural elements such as steel and aluminum.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manuelcervantes.com.mx\/\">Manuel Cervantes Estudio<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">material continuity defines Rancho Sereno by Manuel Cervantes<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Operable wooden panels and louvered shutters promote natural cross-ventilation, allowing ocean breezes to replace mechanical cooling systems. Exposed walls highlight the natural tones and textures of wood and micro-cement, emphasizing a tactile and material-driven experience. The flooring, executed by a Belgian team known for collaborations with Axel Vervoordt, employs micro-cement applied in a technique that produces smooth, joint-free surfaces. This continuous treatment enhances spatial flow and reinforces the relationship between interior and exterior spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Manuel Cervantes <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manuelcervantes.com.mx\/\">Estudio\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Rancho Sereno avoids excessive glazing and heavy construction systems, relying instead on natural ventilation, shading, and simple material choices to reduce environmental impact. The result is a residence that merges architecture and landscape, balancing traditional references with contemporary methods to create a low-impact coastal dwelling rooted in its site.<\/p>\n<p>Rancho Sereno\u2019s outside lounge al fresco<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Rancho Sereno\u2019s outside lounge al fresco<\/p>\n<p>outside lounge<\/p>\n<p>sun deck and pool<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>dining room<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>bedroom<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>bedroom<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>bathroom<\/p>\n<p>dining room<\/p>\n<p>Rancho Sereno\u2019s outside lounge al fresco<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> Rancho Sereno at <a href=\"https:\/\/xala.com\/\">Xala<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/xala.mx\/\">@xala.mx<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/manuelcervantes.com.mx\/\">Manuel Cervantes Estudio<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/manuelcervantes\/\">@manuelcervantes<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Xala, Mexico<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/manuel-cervantes-hacienda-traditions-regenerative-coastal-living-mexico-xala-rancho-sereno-10-03-2025\/\">manuel cervantes draws on hacienda traditions to shape regenerative coastal living in mexico<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rancho Sereno integrates wooden volumes with coastal setting \u00a0 Rancho Sereno, designed by Manuel Cervantes Estudio, is a 22,000-sqft residence within the 3,000-acre regenerative development of Xala on Mexico\u2019s Pacific Costalegre coast.
