Project Details:<\/h4>\n

Location: <\/b>Todos Santos, Mexico<\/p>\n

Architect: <\/b>PPAA<\/a> \/ @perez_palacios_aa<\/a><\/p>\n

Footprint: <\/b>3,800 square foot<\/p>\n

Interiors: <\/b>PPAA with Vipp<\/a> and Julie Cloos M\u00f8lsgaard<\/a><\/p>\n

Builder: <\/b>Grupo Impulsa<\/p>\n

Photographer: <\/b>Anders Hviid<\/a> \/ @andershviid<\/a><\/p>\n

From the Architect: <\/b>“The architecture of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, is a captivating blend of historic charm and contemporary influences. The town, nestled between the Sierra de la Laguna mountains and the Pacific Ocean, boasts a rich cultural heritage that is reflected in its architecture. Wandering through the streets, one encounters preserved colonial buildings<\/a> with vibrant facades that showcase a palette of earthy tones. Over time, Todos Santos has become a haven for artists and creatives, influencing the architectural landscape. Quaint art galleries, boutique hotels, and stylish cafes seamlessly integrate modern design elements while maintaining a respect for the town\u2019s traditional aesthetic.<\/i><\/p>\n

“This rammed-earth project<\/a> began by considering the natural topography, aligning the architecture with contours and capturing views. A key strategy involves crafting a defined exterior space that\u2019s integrated with the surroundings, acting as an anchor and shaping the overall design. This approach fosters a relationship between the built environment and landscape. The strategic placement of volumes responds directly to the landscape and ocean views.<\/i><\/p>\n

“Extended walls optimize natural light and frame views. This design element is meant to enhance the ambiance, reinforcing a serene connection with the landscape. The circular rooftop swimming pool is placed to maximize panoramic ocean and sky views. The defined exterior space seamlessly transforms into a covered terrace, acting as the focal point for social encounters. A central fireplace adds to the ambiance while also serving as a support column.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
