Created by Mexico City–based architects Ambrosi | Etchegaray from recycled materials, this lush retreat was inspired by Italianate vaulted ceilings. Upon arrival, visitors can see only three barrel-vaulted roofs amid a dense canopy of foliage. Inside, exposed bricks add depth to the rounded ceilings, while reed latticework encloses the roof to allow for easy circulation of fresh, warm air.
