MEXICANA MAMA
some properties just hit different— more like a feeling than a visual exploration. yeah, we gave this cabo casa a soul that vibrates with inner light and love— because she deserved it. because she wanted it.
part of a luxe development, the home didn’t start off so metaphysical… a major reimagining was in order, but one that would respect the region’s mountains and coastal plains with an eco-conscious footprint while supporting its indigenous communities by supporting its artisans.
this crew was on the same page from the start: a mexican home should be filled with mexican things. period. materials shipped from china to san diego? no way. so we hunted high + low, and rabbit-holed super deep for local sourcing. that chair in the living room with a mane? an artist from the yucatan handcrafted that beautiful baby with agave fibers. that desert mural and handwoven macrame in the bunk room? both by local artists we were destined to meet.
this vacation home’s subconscious was craving interaction, texture and movement, too. so we layered in cool moments in the primary bedroom [thatched branches in place of a bare ceiling], in the kitchen [rounded corners + relief plaster], and outside on the patio [a swing circle for a close-knit family of five]..
now any semblance of her glossy past life is as faded as an old photograph. now, all architectural intent has been flipped on its head. now, only an organic, natural vibe remains.
