The Brutalist concrete hotel in Todos Santos, Mexico, celebrates the natural motion of the desert: its lines and forms embody the topography and pathways naturally sculpted by the wind.


“The desert is a land of constant change. Winds and seasons shape and reshape it, transforming its undulations, its reliefs, its fissures, its entire appearance with a single sweep of the wind. In order to emphasize its motion, we worked on a design inspired by these winds. We worked without hard lines, imagining each and every contour of its topography as if shaped by desert gusts rather than pen on paper,” said the architects from POLEN Arquitectura de Paisaje about Hotel Paraderó.
