Morada Escondida, Baja California Sur, Mexico

The property is entered via the roof garden, where you descend floating steps into a zen courtyard.

By Serina Tatham

Immersed in the desert, Morada Escondida has been considerately built to provide a nature-oriented, low-impact lifestyle while offering dramatic ocean and mountain views. Echoing the surroundings, the modern and minimal structure is made of monolithic cast-in-place concrete, and the striking geometry has resulted in ceilings of up to 15 ft.

The home is solar powered with a planted roof encouraging the reintroduction of native species and, due to the design and orientation of the home, it requires no mechanical heating or cooling.

The subterranean property is entered from the roof garden, where visitors descend floating steps into a zen courtyard. A generous main bedroom flanks one end of this expanse, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a private deck overlooking the ocean and desert scape.

Elsewhere, a gallery-style dining hall runs parallel to the kitchen, and there is a sunken living room with a double-sided fireplace. At the opposite end of the house is an artist’s studio, perfect for use as an office or to be transformed into a second suite. To the east of the main house sits the guest casita, where earthy tones mimic the desert topography, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors showcase the mountain range.
