Salina Cruz, Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico
Hidden along a remote stretch of Oaxaca’s Pacific coastline, 40 minutes north of Puerto Escondido, Casa Cosmos is a secluded one-bedroom retreat designed for complete disconnection and immersion in nature. The minimalist home blends exposed concrete, warm local wood, and open-air living to create a seamless dialogue between architecture and the surrounding landscape. Designed to open entirely to the elements, Casa Cosmos welcomes ocean breezes, natural light, and the sounds of the surrounding ecosystem into every space. Sliding wooden lattice screens blur the boundaries between indoors and out, allowing guests to open the house completely to the surrounding jungle or retreat into privacy as the day unfolds. Every element of Casa Cosmos invites a slower, more intentional way of living. A linear plunge pool stretches between the bedroom and kitchen, creating a refreshing space to cool off throughout the day. The sensory bathroom encourages complete presence, with a candlelit shower experience. Above, a rooftop terrace features a circular water mirror that reflects the night sky, transforming evenings into moments of quiet contemplation beneath the stars. Thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind, the home harvests rainwater and naturally filters wastewater on-site, minimizing its impact on the fragile coastal ecosystem. Ideal for couples, creatives, and architecture lovers, this off-grid sanctuary is less a vacation home than a living work of art—an invitation to slow down, observe, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Oaxacan coast.
