Perched within the near-pristine desert of Baja California, this project draws inspiration from one of the region’s most iconic forms: the faro, or lighthouse. Like these solitary sentinels scattered across the peninsula, each pavilion rises to orient itself—to light its own way toward the vast, shifting landscapes of mountain and sea.

Climbing through the structure becomes a spatial journey, unfolding in three distinct horizons. First, the excavated kitchen immerses you in the immediate terrain—where native cacti, desert flora, and the slow choreography of local wildlife frame the ground-level experience. Then, lying in the bedroom, your gaze is drawn upward—toward the vast, open sky. Finally, from the rooftop terrace, the most precious view reveals itself: the distant Sierra and the wide expanse of the Mar de Cortés.

Designed for a client who is a product designer, the pavilions themselves are conceived as inhabitable objects—half shelter, half prototype. Built from prefabricated cement panels in Mexico City and transported to site, the structures will be assembled by the client’s own hands. Part architecture, part artifact, the project is both a home and an act of making—an homage to place, process, and the poetry of Baja’s landscapes.
