The Mazul development was designed by Mexican architecture firm Revolution and features 50 private villas located in the town of Santa Elena El Tule.

Each villa is built from a combination of smooth concrete and rough brick that mimics large stones found on the site.
"There are dozens of mega stones called chicharrón that are naturally distributed all over the site. They have a unique exterior texture as some parts are very smooth and other parts are corrugated," Revolution told Dezeen.
"This inspired us to create architecture that could adapt to the land in the same way as these stones." The villas are made up of both smooth and rough facades
Inexpensive load-bearing walls of smooth reinforced concrete were mixed with a pigment coloured with the tone of the location's sandy terrain.
