Part of the project's name, Palmetum, means a place where palm trees flourish. Many of these have been integrated into the building, which has circular holes in the ceiling for the trunks to reach up through.
建筑附近有一座植物园“Vivero Cholul”，这座植物园位于历史上玛雅殖民区的中心地带。
TACO说：“针对参观者来说，我们可以通过工作坊的形式建立学术研究与建筑价值之间的联系。”
The structure is also located near a plant nursery, Vivero Cholul, in the heart of a historic Mayan-colonial community.
"For the visitors, the objective was to establish a sensorial connection with architectural-constructive values promoted by the workshop," said TACO.
工作室的前部区域运用了当地生产的竹制面板，它们具有控制隐私、安全、透光的功能。
所有墙体与天花板粉刷着磨光的灰泥，并运用了场地上的生土。
The bamboo panels that run across the front of the studio – which open and close to control privacy, security, and sunlight – were produced locally.
Burnished stucco lines all of the walls and ceilings, and was naturally pigmented with the earth from the site.
设计的灵感来源于玛雅文化的传统建筑，以及当地Franciscan修道院和尤卡坦传统庄园。“建筑基础由混凝土块、混凝土面板、横梁构成，，这样的做法在该地区最为常见。”TACO说。
