“Vessels of our feeling, thinking, and perceiving.”
A house is not a machine for living.
It is a vessel — of our feeling, our thinking, our perceiving.
Raised slowly, by hand, in conversation with the land.
Tuned, like an instrument, for sound, light and air.
Musician, sculptor and builder of organic architecture. Hari raises living structures in the Mayan jungle — homes that behave less like buildings and more like instruments, fitted to the land and tuned for sound, light and air. He works in a family lineage of artist-builders with decades of depth and real landholdings in the region.
A house that grew out of the limestone it stands on. Curved walls that carry the breeze, copper and glass that catch the afternoon, rooms that resolve like chords. Quinta Orquídea is the clearest statement of the Siliceo language — architecture you inhabit the way you inhabit music. Today it lives as a guesthouse in the jungle, so the work can be slept in, not just seen.

La Casa Nave documents that negotiation: a vessel-house rising out of the green, shaped by hand and by ear. Watch how the structure finds its form the way a boat finds its hull — nothing decorative, everything load-bearing, everything singing.
Hari builds inside a family body of work — generations of artist-builders raising organic structures across the Riviera Maya, with real land and decades of depth behind every project. The houses talk to each other across the years: the same curves, the same materials, the same refusal to separate building from sculpture from instrument.
Hari is a musician first. Every space begins as an acoustic question — where will sound rise, where will it resolve, where will it rest. Domes, studios and sanctuaries are shaped for resonance before they are shaped for anything else; geometry and material are chosen the way a luthier chooses wood. The result is rooms that hold a note, and people, the same way.
Design and hands-on construction of curved, living structures fitted to the form of the land — limestone, tropical hardwood, copper and glass.
