Situated off the grid on a secluded beach facing the Sea of Cortez, Casa Serena is a classic AAA design.

The home is laid out in separate volumes connected by outdoor living and circulating spaces, courtyards, and breezeways, blending indoor and outdoor spaces. The design takes full advantage of the unique triangular lot by offering sweeping views of the sand and water from every room.

Staggered planes of generous terraces, a wave-edged infinity pool, and the beach draw the gaze outward toward the sea.

The light sand-colored walls, Arizona flagstone floors with curved cero grout, and three high palm roof palapas celebrate the home’s Mexican beachfront location and tradition.

It was important to the owners to furnish and decorate their home in an elegant, welcoming, and comfortable manner. AAA worked closely with the owners to create a warm palette of colors drawn from the desert. We chose furniture and textiles of natural yet durable materials. We commissioned custom furniture from Esteban Chapital in Puebla, and sourced unique pieces from artisans and artists across Mexico City, Oaxaca, and San Miguel Allende.

As another trademark AAA motif, the home uses plants as texture and color, punctuating balconies with bursts of fuchsia and white bougainvillea, and preserving a giant Cardon cactus off of the game room.

This project is particularly dear to Jacinto Avalos because it represents his vision of the ideal Los Cabos architecture and lifestyle, which he has developed and matured over many years. The design is resilient and universal.

He first designed a home with this vision in the East Cape that was never built. Casa Serena was designed on this lot for a long-time client who ultimately sold the lot before construction, and who then engaged AAA to design and build the beachfront Villa Camaleón. AAA promoted the sale of this property, and was fortunate to be engaged by the new owners who chose to carry out the original Casa Serena design in its entirety.
