Our Regenerative Community Vision
We are actively researching the strengths and challenges within diverse communities, intentionally steering away from a one-size-fits-all approach. Our primary focus is on developing a process that goes beyond a mere replicable model, acknowledging and adapting to the distinct dynamics of each unique place.
Drawing inspiration from the conventional Real Estate model, we aspire to design an approach that is both regenerative and flexible, aligning seamlessly with the essence, potential, and vocation of each community.
Our commitment extends beyond a static vision – we wholeheartedly embrace a regenerative community concept that continually evolves and improves. This living vision is responsive to the specific needs and aspirations of both the people and the place. At the core of our efforts lies the facilitation of processes that cultivate trust and guide individuals to discover their purpose in service to the community.

Project Rewarded at “Bienal Internacional de Arquitectura Mexicana” and participated in Holcim Awards
Nestled in southeastern Mexico, the “La Ceiba” project by Uumbal redefines industrial design. With 16 replicable prototypes, including residences and warehouses, it seamlessly blends eco-friendly materials like earth and bamboo with conventional ones.
More than aesthetics, it champions functionality, sustainability, and social impact. This innovative endeavor promotes dry construction, maximizes natural elements for a bioclimatic strategy, and dignifies agricultural work with bamboo roofing and vegetative cover. “La Ceiba” is a testament to a new era in harmonious, socially impactful industrial architecture.
