At Hotel Terrestre in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, the architecture is stripped to basic elements: local brick, pools of water for plunging, bedrooms open to the air, and verandas situated to face the sun. In fact, the hotel is 100 percent solar powered—and guests, too, are encouraged to unplug: to “disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature, synchronizing their day with the cycle of the sun,” as the site says.
Designed by architect Alberto Kalach and Taller de Arquitectura X (TAX), with interiors by Fernanda Romandia and Diana Backal, each structure is designed to further connection with “water, flora, light, and air.”
