Living in the Landscape of Baja California
The Brief
Baja Link Resort proposes the creation of a new beachfront hotel and residential destination in Loreto, Baja California Sur. The goal is to develop a complex that combines hospitality, residential living, dining, and commercial activity within a unified concept, closely tied to the landscape and the region’s identity.
The project seeks to capitalize on its extensive connection to the coastline and maintain a direct link to the Loreto Malecón, integrating architecture, vegetation, and outdoor spaces as part of a single experience.
Project Scope
The proposal organizes the site through a combination of hotel, residential, condominium, and commercial uses, creating a complex that opens onto the ocean and is connected to the city. The hotel occupies a prominent position facing the coastline, while the various residential and mixed-use areas round out the development and help generate activity at different times of the day.
The architecture seeks to establish a direct relationship with the climate and landscape of Baja California, emphasizing views of the sea and the islands and using courtyards, outdoor pathways, vegetation, and transitional spaces to tie the complex together. The proposal also incorporates references to regional identity, both in the architecture and landscaping and in experiences tied to the local culture.
Rather than proposing an isolated building, Baja Link Resort is conceived as a destination where lodging, residential living, dining, leisure, and the landscape are all part of a shared experience.
A destination where the desert, the city, and the sea come together to offer a new way of experiencing Loreto.
Ujo+partners develops the conceptual and architectural proposal for the complex, including the general plan for its uses, the organization of the program, and the definition of the resort’s spatial and aesthetic experience.
