Shortlisted: City Space (Apartment / Penthouse) Global

The International Design & Architecture Awards 2025

IDA 2025

This penthouse, envisioned by interior designer Aliza Cohen, draws upon the tranquil and unrefined elegance of Tulum where natural elements harmonise with understated luxury. The design reflects a refined bohemian sensibility, incorporating organic textures and an earthy palette to foster a warm, serene atmosphere.

The interior composition features a range of tactile materials, including linen, rattan, and natural fibres, layered over a base of soft neutrals, sand tones, sun-washed woods, and stone. Stucco-finished walls introduce a subtle artisanal dimension, while bespoke, handcrafted furniture pieces embrace the wabi-sabi philosophy – celebrating simplicity, asymmetry, and the beauty of imperfection.

Thoughtfully curated low-profile seating, generous cushions, and relaxed silhouettes invite comfort and repose throughout the space. Lush tropical greenery further enhances the design, seamlessly integrating the interior with expansive terraces and outdoor areas designed for slow, intentional living. Hammocks, loungers, and a rustic bar create an idyllic setting for sunset gatherings and quiet retreat.

Lighting plays a key atmospheric role, with woven pendants and sculptural sconces casting soft, organic shadows. Ethnic textiles in sun-faded hues introduce subtle contrast and cultural depth, enriching the overall narrative.

More than a residence, this penthouse offers a sensory escape, an elevated sanctuary that merges minimalist elegance with the easy spirit of coastal living. The success of the project owes much to the client’s openness and trust, which enabled Aliza Cohen to allow the concept to evolve naturally and authentically, resulting in a timeless and soulful urban retreat.
