Constructed on a pre-existing cliff-top structure that had been abandoned, Mexican architect Andrés Cajiga (ALIA Made in Architecture) and the owners didn’t demolish the structure. Instead the team had the foresight to reuse, improve and embrace the space, design and surrounding grounds. This not only improved sustainability in the build-out, but also minimized the marine transport impact.
