Penthouse Fit-Out in the Chac Mool–Marlin stretch of the Hotel Zone: custom interiors, rooftops and terraces

Penthouses in the central Hotel Zone have large terraces over the open sea; we fit them out with custom interiors and, where the slab allows it, a plunge pool. We fit out and remodel penthouses in the Cancún Hotel Zone with custom design: stone and wood interiors, bespoke carpentry, rooftop terraces with plunge pool and outdoor kitchen, integrated smart home and, where the structure allows, a private lift.

Penthouse Fit-Out in the Chac Mool–Marlin stretch of the Hotel Zone

Penthouses in the central Hotel Zone have large terraces over the open sea; we fit them out with custom interiors and, where the slab allows it, a plunge pool.

Beachfront condo towers of different generations with large units and penthouses; owners range from residents to investors in monthly and vacation rental, and many units are due for a full interior or a penthouse upgrade.

The setting: Open Caribbean beach and La Isla lagoon front

Open-sea exposure means stronger wind, salt and hurricane loads than on the bay: impact glazing, sealed frames, marine-grade metal and wind-rated terrace designs are standard in our specifications.

Structure first on the roof

Pools, jacuzzis, planters and pergolas add heavy loads and wind forces; we get a structural review and the building's approval before design, so the terrace you see in the render is the one that can be built.

Finishes for sun, salt and wind

Outdoor stone, stainless, powder-coated aluminium and marine-grade fabrics are chosen so the terrace still looks new after several hurricane seasons.

Rules in this sector

Beachfront towers require administration approval, insurance and deposits; roof and terrace works also need structural review and, for plunge pools, the building's sign-off. Penthouse works touch roofs and façades, so they need the administration's approval, sometimes the original architect's sign-off, structural calculations and craning or lifting plans.

Managed for owners who live abroad

You get one English-speaking project manager and one WhatsApp group, a weekly photo and video report, a live budget and payments by milestone after each stage is checked; most owners only fly in for handover.
