Loto 23

Loto House is a single-story beach house located on an elevated plot near the ocean in San José del Cabo, Mexico. The architectural concept involves a series of volumes, consisting mainly of the guest rooms, garage, and service units organized around a central social space that opens towards the ocean. A great concrete slab rests on top of this central volume, giving a sense of order and organization to the house.

The construction process was as important as the architectural concept, where textured, pigmented concrete walls were conceived as the main surrounding and enclosing element of the great social hall. Such artisanal elements as lattices, metal works, furniture, and local art are incorporated into the architecture, conceived as a singular work of craftsmanship.

On top of the concrete slab, there is a fi repit and observation deck, giving users a full overview of the Cabo area. In the end, the main architectural arrangement is simple in its functionality but creates different experiences of discovery through patios, gardens, and other natural elements, culminating with an expansive view of the ocean.
