The Hive serves as Alegría Village’s community building for gatherings and relaxation. Located in the heart of the land the building raises from the terrain to allow the bamboo frames protection from the ground humidity and the large   thatch roof overhangs cover it from direct rain and sunlight. The buildings open nature allows visitors a spectacular view of the Desmonte hills and an internal garden captures stormwater runoff from the roof to irrigate a citrus forest planted downhill.
