Building a House in Rosarito: Need Architect Recommendations


Hello Knowledgeable Sages,

I have been renting for a year in the Rosarito BC area and telecommuting to my job in LA. I really love the lifestyle, and have decided to buy some land and build a nice house near the beach. The neighborhood I have selected has recommended builders and architects, but I'd especially like to find an architect recommendations of my own.

A lot of the houses I've seen in Mexico have either an extreme pseudo modern box cookie cutter feel, or are outright tacky with a mish-mash of different architectural styles and features just haphazardly slapped together, and none of it flows.

The home needs to blend in with the neighboring Spanish Colonial traditional architecture even though I want a more modern feel inside. It has been difficult to find anyone that shows residential traditional architecture on their webpage or Facebook page. I have only seen very modern drawings. It's impossible to find anyone who shows portfolio of actual finished projects with photographs, just a ton of renderings.

There must be someone who understands this genre. Does anyone here have a good recommendation? Thanks in advance!

Go online and buy stock plans that you like.
Or.......first....drive down the coast around Rosarito and look at the "architect designed" abominations that ruin the land.

So much of what you see in residential areas are houses that have suffered the modular add-on effect. Somebody wants a room addition, they just add one......and another.....and....
