crafted by MEDEZA and CDQ, canyon entrance in los cabos, mexico is a brutalist desert pavilion that acts as a sundial.
"In the arid landscapes of Los Cabos in Baja California Sur, Mexico, a private family club finds its striking arrival point in Canyon Entrance, a pavilion that is both a threshold and a statement. Conceived as a radial composition, this desertic structure is the work of MEDEZA (Francisco Parra) and CDQ (Centro Diseño Querencia), with collaborators Mauricio Rios, Gerardo Aguero & Vanessa Ramirez. The design orchestrates a sensory journey, compressing space to heighten anticipation before releasing visitors into the openness of a sculpted desert garden. The architecture, drawing from brutalist desert aesthetics, breathes with the environment through its voids, pigments, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow."
