Filosofía

Casas que pertenecen
a su tierra

Arquitectura y naturaleza siempre han estado conectadas. Tu hogar debe dialogar con su entorno, no pelear contra él: seguir la pendiente, el sol y el viento, y sentirse como si hubiera crecido del lugar, con sus materiales, sus formas y su cultura.

El diseño bioclimático mantiene tu hogar fresco, luminoso y confortable de forma natural, usando menos energía. Materiales naturales y locales como tierra, piedra y madera, combinados con técnicas modernas donde la vida de hoy lo necesita, lo hacen parte del terreno.

Water House — sustainable residence in Baja California Sur by Symbiotica

Water House

Water House is a residence conceived around a central shared space where the living room, kitchen, and dining area merge into a single, fluid environment that fully opens to the outdoors. At the heart of this space, the "grandmother stones"—natural guardians of the site—are preserved, accompanied by open views toward the sea.

María Manuel Ponte — architect and founder of Symbiotica
Nosotros

María Manuel Ponte

Arquitecta · Fundadora

Architect trained at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Coimbra, in Portugal, with a special interest in the integration of natural materials and sustainable strategies in contemporary architecture. During her studies, she participated in an exchange program at the University of Cagliari, in Italy, where she deepened her knowledge of traditional earthen construction techniques and their application in modern projects. As part of her academic development, she completed an integrated master's thesis titled "Earthen Architecture: The Influence of Design on the Durability of Structures," exploring how traditional materials can meet contemporary demands for comfort, aesthetics, and resilience.

Manu came to Mexico with the aim of learning from and collaborating with cultures where these techniques remain alive, traveling through several Latin American countries to study their traditional architecture. In Guatemala, she participated in the construction of a school using earth and bamboo. In Oaxaca, she worked on projects that integrated contemporary solutions with natural building techniques, and also took part in community initiatives to build homes and public spaces in local communities.

Manu is currently based in Baja California, where she designs residential projects and guides them through construction with a holistic approach. Her work is distinguished by its attention to detail and personalized guidance for each client throughout the process, ensuring that every space reflects both functionality and the identity of those who inhabit it. Her approach combines principles of sustainability, strategic use of materials, and harmonious integration with the surroundings, resulting in architectural spaces that are both authentic and timeless.

Historias de clientes

Lo que dicen nuestros clientes

Manu has been an absolute delight to work with. She is clear and kind in her communication, and very efficient in her work. She consistently goes above and beyond in service of our project, and brings plenty of much-needed optimism and joy to our team. She has a beautiful, precise eye for design and a deep respect for nature, such that it seems her buildings were always meant to be there. We have found her to be a rare balance of professional and fun to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Beth Upton

Sanditthika Meditation Center, Granada

I did my architectural plans with Manu. I love her style, her sensitivity, and how attentive she is to the needs, interests and personal tastes you want for your home. I love working with Manu because I feel heard, and I trust that she knows how to bring my ideas down to earth, while adding her wisdom and experience in a wonderful way. She will take the time needed to listen to you, get to know you, and give you a project that brings together everything you like and more, in a realistic, creative and beautiful way.

Paola Aguilar

Casa Karuna, Los Cabos

Working with Manu was truly a lovely experience. From the start, her warmth, calm energy and smile make her a joy to work with. She's incredibly detail-oriented with beautiful taste and she really understands that craftsmanship is what makes a beautifully designed project come together — a great design falls flat without it. The lighting design in our home turned out gorgeous; she's so intuitive about placement, temperature, and dimming. What I appreciated most was her collaborative spirit — she has a strong, distinct vision and can take charge, but she genuinely works with you to land on something that fits your taste (within reason!). I'd tell anyone considering working with her: that you are in very good hands.

Why earthen architecture still makes sense in 2026

Compacted earth walls regulate temperature, absorb moisture, and outlast conventional concrete — at a fraction of the embodied carbon. Here's what two decades of research and a thesis in Coimbra taught us about building with the land itself.

Desert aesthetics: why build with Mexican materials and craftsmanship

The desert has its own palette: earth tones, raw textures, honest surfaces shaped by local hands. When you build with the materials and craftspeople of a place, the result belongs there — and ages beautifully.

Why every home in Baja needs solar panels: not a luxury, a strategy

With 300+ days of sunshine a year, solar energy in Baja California Sur isn't an upgrade — it's common sense. A look at the real costs, payback periods, and why off-grid readiness is a smart investment.
