The methodology applied in this work is descriptive, where aspects like the processes of obtaining each material, benefits, national and international similar cases were analyzed in order to contribute to the design proposition. This research also included design parameters for hotels which involve optimal circulation and furniture measures, human anthropometry and color psychology. The result of this research was a design proposition that accomplished to merge the three materials studied and respect the design requirements for hotels. In the same way, it was possible to demonstrate the benefits of recycling on the beaches and positively exploit the materials for construction purposes.
