Baja Retreat
Ensenada, Mexico

Status: Design
New Construction Residence & Art Studio


Guided by the clean lines and indoor–outdoor ethos of Mexican mid-century modern design, the home is envisioned to fuse timeless architectural form with advanced sustainable strategies. Thick concrete walls, clad in locally sourced stone, will provide thermal massing to naturally stabilize interior temperatures, while passive cooling and cross-ventilation will minimize reliance on mechanical systems.

Water self-sufficiency will be achieved through innovative fog collection and rainwater harvesting, transforming the site’s unique coastal climate into a renewable resource. Solar energy is planned to power the retreat, enabling a lifestyle that is both resilient and environmentally conscious.

The design aspires to create a modern off-grid house in Baja Mexico—a sanctuary for living and creating that harmonizes with its surroundings while offering sweeping ocean horizons and a deep connection to nature.
