PARADERO TODOS SANTOS
The 35-suite Paradero Todos Santos in Baja California Sur , Mexico , is an “ experience-inclusive ” destination rooted in meaningful connections with nature , sustainability , community and conservation that naturally encourage longer stays . Landscape architect Polen developed the masterplan , which resulted in an 80 % landscape / 20 % construction site featuring a 100,000-squarefoot botanical garden with 80 endemic species . Architecture firm Yektajo & Valdez conceived the brutalist concrete and Tornillo timber structure , while B Huber designed interiors with Mexicanmade materials in unvarnished natural forms , tones and textures .
