Casa La Vista in Baja California Sur desert, Mexico
Casa La Vista is a residence of tectonic character that emerges among the dunes and the vastness of the Baja California Sur desert.
The house rests on a cliff overlooking the horizon; its layout is oriented to the southeast in order to deliberately frame the meeting point between sky and sea, facing the coast of San José and Punta Gorda.
In a climate that challenges both space and materials, we set out to design a great roof as the primary gesture: a generous element that articulates life among the different wings of the residence and allows the architecture to engage in dialogue with the desert—not through resistance, but through synergy.
The house unfolds into three wings connected by a longitudinal axis that naturally traverses them. Two of these house five bedrooms, linked by a desert garden that invites movement, encounter, and contemplation, and which culminates in the social wing: the heart of shared life.
Construction employed stone from the local Santa Catarina quarry, enveloping the house in the earthy tones of its surroundings and dissolving the boundaries between architecture and landscape.
In the social wing, the walls are clad in Puebla travertine, offering a soft and luminous counterpoint to the warmth of the Ojinaga stone flooring and the roof. For the carpentry, we chose the nobility of Rosa Morada wood, left unstained so its natural color could breathe.
The extreme climate required a rethinking of the relationship between interior and exterior. Large overhangs were incorporated to provide shade and protection, and when the openings are fully opened, cross-ventilation is generated along the central axis, cooling the inner courtyards with gentle breezes that seem to rise from the ground itself.
All vegetation is endemic, carefully transplanted from the adjacent ecosystem. Its arrangement is intentional rather than random, composed in rhythms, sequences, and assemblies that accompany movement while modulating shade and animating the spaces.
What makes Casa La Vista special is not only its location or materials, but the atmosphere it creates. It is a residence meant to be inhabited with calm, where each step feels guided by a tangible serenity. A quiet warmth envelops the space, as if the house itself were breathing alongside the desert.
