Part of small ecology-sensitive beachfront community in Punto Chivato near Mulege, Baja California, this artists’ home was designed with an open plan that provides year-round connectivity to the outdoors. Staggered roofs shade the home’s interior from direct sun while facilitating natural light and cross-ventilation. Design features include a partially covered sunroof over the master bedroom that affords outstanding views of the Sea of Cortez, a covered outdoor dining room, and an extensive trellis along the home’s south side. The residence generates 100 percent of its electricity through renewable sources and rainwater is harvested and reused on site.
