Kanai Edition Riviera Maya

Riviera Maya Edition at Kanai is designed as an open-air resort that remains closely connected to its coastal surroundings. Natural ventilation, shaded walkways, and fluid transitions between interior and exterior spaces shape the architectural experience.
Located within a mangrove landscape, where humidity, mould, and salinity are constant factors, the project required a material with proven stability.

MOSO Bamboo X-treme beams and cladding with Trapezium profile were selected for the operable shutters in the lobby and for the overhead beam canopy that shades the circulation routes.

Exceptional resistance

MOSO Bamboo X-treme offers exceptional resistance to humidity, mould, and UV exposure. Its durability and warm, natural tone support both the performance expectations of a tropical hospitality environment and the project’s ambition to minimise environmental impact.

Building the future with bamboo in Kanai

The shutters modulate daylight and provide privacy, while the canopy introduces shade and comfort to the open-air walkways. Together, they contribute to the calm and refined atmosphere that characterises the resort.
Kanai demonstrates how a biobased material can meet the technical challenges of contemporary coastal architecture and enrich its spatial identity. It is one more example of building the future with bamboo.
