Yucatán
Architecture & Construction in El Cuyo
Architecture and construction in El Cuyo by PGA — coastal homes and boutique stays on Yucatán's quiet Gulf shore, designed and built by Roberto Carli.
Building in El Cuyo
El Cuyo sits inside the Ría Lagartos biosphere area on a sandy barrier coast. Wind, sand and remoteness shape both the design and the construction process.
Every project is led personally by Roberto Carli, founder of PGA, an architecture and construction studio in Tulum and the Riviera Maya. One team carries your project from design through permits to construction.
Local expertise
What architecture and construction in El Cuyo requires
Sandy substrate foundations
Foundations are engineered for loose coastal sand and a shallow water table.
Wind & salt exposure
Constant Gulf winds call for robust envelopes, protected metals and cross-ventilated plans.
Protected area rules
We coordinate the environmental and municipal approvals required in and around the reserve.
Remote logistics
Materials and specialist crews are planned well ahead for this distant site.

Building in El Cuyo, answered
Do you offer both architecture and construction in El Cuyo?
Yes. PGA designs and builds in El Cuyo as one integrated studio led by architect Roberto Carli — from site analysis and architectural design to permits, construction management and handover.
Can foreigners build a home in El Cuyo?
Yes. Foreign owners typically hold property through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican company. PGA coordinates legal structuring, Tizimín permits and construction so owners can build without living on site.
How much does it cost to build in El Cuyo?
Cost depends on structure, finish level, access and site conditions, and is quoted per square metre. PGA prepares an itemised construction budget before work starts so the approved figure is the one the project is built to.
