scattered along the sloping terrain of valle de guadalupe, mexico, 'endémico resguardo silvestre' is a cluster of twenty hotel rooms,

designed by san diego-based practice gracia studio. positioned within a landscape of vineyards, each ecoloft has panoramic vistas

overlooking the scenic valley below. placed upon steel stilts, the 20 square meter cubes hover above the rocky ground, minimally interfering

with the savannah continuing underneath. corten steel was selected to surface the small structures, aging with time to blend into

the rustic hues of the encompassing nature.

Consisting of 20 casitas, aka ecolofts on stilts, each one has a terrace, a clay fireplace and views of the Guadalupe valley below.

Inside, the style is surprisingly sleek and modern.

There's also a swimming pool and hot tub nestled into the craggy mountainside and a gourmet restaurant run by the Culinary Arts School of Tijuana. More at Gracia Studio.
