Casa Tejocote by GOMA Taller de Arquitectura in Querétaro transforms a regulatory restriction into an inhabitable wall. Through pigmented concrete, patios, skylights, and precise openings, the house protects privacy while opening carefully to the semi-desert landscape.

Villa Desierto Complex by Formatelier Arquitectos in Playa Cerritos, Baja California Sur, creates a dialogue between desert and ocean through rammed earth, exposed concrete, wood, vertical screens, and a rooftop terrace open to the Pacific horizon.
