The Eco-Homes

The Seed is composed of three independent yet interconnected eco-homes. Each has its own character, layout, and rhythm while sharing access to communal spaces and gardens.

The Seed Villa

The central four-bedroom home of the estate, defined by high ceilings, bold architectural lines, and expansive indoor-outdoor living spaces overlooking Lake Atitlan.

Wraparound terraces and open lounge areas blur the boundary between architecture and landscape, creating a spacious environment for gathering, dining, and retreat life.

At the top of the house, the rooftop yoga shala offers panoramic views of the lake and surrounding volcanoes. Trumpet vines and hummingbirds frame the terraces throughout the day.
