Home Studio Animas 8 / Mar Studio

Andreas Luco — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 14:00:00 +0000

Located within a magnificent desert that merges with the sea, this designer home-studio surrounded by the desert and rich farmlands is 5 minutes from San Jose del Cabo and 5 minutes from the port. Ánimas is the first project our studio has developed from its foundation. At Mar Studio, our design process starts with structure and architecture, it’s always a process that includes finishes and materials, the play of light and shade, the importance of beauty and functionality. We create from the ground up. With this project, we seek to redefine ourselves and the spaces where we work and live. The loft design adapts to the existing mountainous topography of the region and follows the lines of the desert and rocky nature of the mountain where the loft sits and allows the design to be part of the beauty of the landscape.

The horizontal profile of the building along with the rammed earth walls, blends the house into the landscape, very discrete from the dirt road that comes along the sea.

Acre Villas / FabrikG

Andreas Luco — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Located in Las Animas Bajas, a privileged area of San José del Cabo known for its natural landscape, the Villas are born within the Acre project, a 25-acre property with a restaurant-bar, hotel, and farming area. The development seeks to provide a healthy lifestyle that respects the environment, fostering a deeper connection with the natural landscape of Los Cabos. The Villas project is set amidst the existing palm grove and vegetation, separated from the property's public and private areas—the "Acre Restaurant Bar," the lounge area with a pool, and the "Tree Houses" hotel. Two main typologies were designed: four two-bedroom units (two levels) and two master units (two levels) with an extra bedroom on the ground floor, a shared patio area, and a pool. Each unit consists of a closed volume with modern, elegant lines that opens up to a private outdoor space, physically bounded by two main rammed earth walls. Access to each unit is through an open patio protected by a lattice wall, maintaining visual permeability in a transitional space with the surrounding nature. Outdoor patios of varying character are created, providing privacy for users while offering opportunities to gather in common areas.

Mar Adentro / Miguel Angel Aragonés

Cristobal Rojas — Tue, 24 May 2016 12:00:00 +0000

The first time I visited this property and took in the desert and the diaphanous, clear water running along a horizontal line in the background, I felt the enormous drive of water under a scorching sun. This piece of land, located in the middle of a coastline dotted with “All Inclusives,” would have to be transformed into a box that contained its own sea –practically its own air– given the happy circumstance that the universe had created a desert joined to the sea along a horizontal line. It was the purest, most minimalist landscape a horizon could have drawn. On either side, this dreamlike scenery collided with what humans consider to be aesthetic and build and baptize as architecture. I wanted to draw my own version, apart from the rest.
