Large thatched roof covers Casa Cova in Mexico by Anonimous
Architecture firm Anonimous took cues from pre-colonial architecture designing Casa Cova, a sprawling beach house made of concrete, parota wood and dried palm leaves.
Casa Cova is located in Puerto Escondido, a coastal town in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Designed by Anonimous, which is based in the city of Querétaro, the building serves as a holiday home for two families.

The project s design was influenced by the massive chambers and private passageways found in the region s pre-colonial architecture. The firm drew particular inspiration from the Mitla archaeological site, which was first inhabited by the Zapotec people over 800 years ago.
