Hotel Boutique Baja Club

2017-2018

The new building echoes the L-shaped floor plan of the villa thereby resulting an ensemble that loosely frames a central courtyard, that increase the amount of open space of the project. The material palette throughout the project draws on the property´s original detailing, including artisanal terrazzo and Talavera tiles, hand finished timber latticework and carpentry, and blown glass lamps.

The tiered massing of the extension reduces it´s visual bulk and provides generous terraces enjoying panoramic views of the Bay o La Paz. Cantilevered reinforced concrete floor plates lend further lightness to the building and in turn serve as outdoor corridors, balconies and passive shading elements reducing solar heat gain and the dependence on mechanical air conditioning.
