‘The Dragon’s Gate’: The ancient design that inspired Stelarhe

MAZATLÁN.- Consisting of two towers, luxury amenities and the latest technology, Stelarhe is being built as the most avant-garde residential complex in Mazatlán and northwestern México.

According to Federico Dosamantes, Sales Manager of Stelarhe, the architectural concept of Stelarhe gives added value and its own identity to the development.

«Stelarhe is a residential tower that pays homage to the waves of the sea and the incredible sunsets of Mazatlán. The design is the work of architect Jorge Vázquez Penúnuri, who created a two-tower building that will become an iconic and emblematic point for Mazatlán.»

In addition, Stelarhe is the only tower being built on the Malecón with a steel structure, instead of concrete, in addition to the thermal and acoustic material used in its construction.

THE DRAGON GATE

The Dragon Gate

Stelarhe’s architectural design hides a special secret that dates back to ancient times and seeks the comfort of its inhabitants.

The design takes up an ancient Asian belief called “The Dragon Gate”, a practice that has been spreading to other parts of the world, where developers put special emphasis on reducing the environmental and visual impact of their buildings to make them more environmentally friendly.

What is it about? Dragons have been present in Chinese and Asian cultures for millennia, as a symbol of protection, mystery, abundance and authority.

Dragons are believed to be the rulers of moving bodies of water and time and watch over humans with their mystical powers and great strength.

Thus, when building tall buildings that reflect prosperity or wealth, the architects of that time left a ‘door’ for dragons to pass through, bringing with them well-being, prosperity and fortune to those who lived there.

True functionality

Leaving aside mysticism and the belief in dragons, this type of construction began to gain notoriety in Hong Kong, more strongly from 1980 onwards.

This year, huge traditional skyscrapers began to be built side by side along Hong Kong’s coastline, causing local residents to complain of poor ventilation and blocked views.

Thus, starting in the 1990s, a law was passed requiring all skyscrapers in Hong Kong to provide this “door.”

Little by little, this practice has spread to other parts of the world, where developers emphasize reducing the environmental and visual impact of their buildings, choosing to make them more friendly and integrated into the environment.

Stelarhe, in the heart of the Malecon

Stelarhe is located on Avenida del Mar in Mazatlán, Sinaloa Mexico and is one of the tallest and most innovative buildings in Mazatlán.

The project consists of 202 units and will have 47,070.48 m2 of construction distributed in two residential towers with 30 levels each and three floors exclusively for common-use areas with cutting-edge amenities.
