Valle Towers — Boutique Hotel & Elevated Cabin Retreat

Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California · Unbuilt Concept

Valle Towers is a boutique hospitality concept designed for an existing olive grove in Valle de Guadalupe—Mexico’s most dynamic wine region and an emerging destination for experimental architecture. Conceived as a series of slender, elevated tower-cabins lightly touching the landscape, the project proposes a new way to inhabit the valley: vertically, quietly, and with deep respect for the land.Rooted in the unique conditions of the site, the design preserves and reorganizes the existing olive trees into curated rows that frame pathways, enhance privacy, and define intimate courtyards between towers. Each structure is positioned to minimize ground disturbance, protect root systems, and create a dispersed retreat that feels both secluded and connected.

Three Tower Typologies

Valle Towers is organized into three cabin variations, each offering a distinct spatial experience:

Tower A — Ground + Elevated
• Two cabins: one fully accessible at grade, and one elevated above
• Ideal for mixed groups, multigenerational stays, or guests seeking different levels of immersion

Tower B — Dual Elevated Units
• Two elevated cabins floating among the olive canopy
• Enhanced privacy and panoramic valley views
• Minimal ground impact through a compact structural footprint

Tower C — Lofted Exclusive Cabin
• A single, premium two-story lofted suite
• Maximum seclusion and vertical spatial drama
• Designed as the project’s most immersive retreat

Architecture & ExperienceThe towers rise as refined concrete arches, creating a quiet monumental presence while maintaining a delicate footprint. Elevated walkways, filtered light, and framed horizon lines shape an experience that shifts between introspection and expansive views. Materials are conceived to weather naturally, echoing the tones of the valley: warm earth, olive bark, and Baja’s muted sky.

Spa & Wellness Pavilion

At the heart of the retreat, a spa pavilion anchors the landscape with thermal baths, saunas, and treatment rooms—an intimate sanctuary dedicated to slow living and restoration.

A Vision for Contextual Hospitality

Valle Towers reflects a broader commitment to designing with landscape, climate, and material honesty. Through minimal intervention and thoughtful placement, the project imagines hospitality that elevates the land rather than occupying it—an architecture of lightness, silence, and connection.
