Vipp Opens Mexican-Danish Guesthouse in Todos Santos
Marking the industrial design firm’s 10th bespoke guesthouse and its first outside of Europe.
Danish industrial design collective Vipp has debuted its 10th guesthouse venture: a sophisticated architectural gem that blends Mexican and Danish design languages by the Pacific Ocean, titled Vipp Todos Santos.
The Mexico guesthome, which is also Vipp’s first outside of Europe, opens one decade after the firm launched its first-ever guesthouse, the Vipp Shelter at Lake Immeln in Sweden. The Todos Santos building boasts 350 square meters of living space, with a main house, two connected guesthouses, five bedrooms, a covered patio, rooftop pool and several terraces.
The home itself was built using natural materials from the surrounding area, resulting in thick, compressed earth walls that provide natural insulation through the night and maintain a cool temperature during the day. The intentionally raw walls shape the interior and exterior of the home, only broken by window frames offering views of the ocean and the Cardones.
“Todos Santos has a very unique blend of topographies, history and influences,” said architect Pablo Pérez Palacios. “We wanted to respect these traditions while creating our own architectural language — one that merges harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.”
Pérez Palacios collaborated with Sofie Christensen Egelund (Vipp’s 3rd-generation co-owner) and Copenhagen-based interior designer Julie Cloos Mølsgaard to create custom furniture and design details for inside the property. Among the highlights, the open-plan living room features Vipp’s new V3 kitchen made from anodized aluminium, and a special-edition Vipp swivel chair (constructed from Pierre Frey jacquard fabric) was designed specifically for the Todos Santos home.
Bookings at Vipp Todos Santos are now open, with a nightly fee of $2,500 USD. Take a look at the property in the gallery above.
