Bosanova
Year 2014 | Mazatlan, Mexico
Rising 21 stories above the beachfront Avenida del Mar, this condo-hotel is sure to become a highly desirable A-list destination and the most prominent addition to Mazatlan’s skyline. It is situated on Mazatlan’s crescent moon bay and faces a pristine shoreline and two landmark islands just offshore, with the historical lighthouse “El Faro” to the south. It sits perfectly between the historic town center, centro histórico, and the booming Golden Zone, Zona Dorada, both minutes away via open-air cab.
Bosanova is a private vacation residence with the convenience of 24-hour hotel service. A huge array of amenities include a trendy pool scene with swim up bar and small cafeteria, king-size lounge beds, a spacious gym, a whimsical 120-seat restaurant with a full-service kitchen (including room service), and a rooftop beauty bar with 360-degree breath-taking views. On the second level (above the entry lobby & main restaurant), there is a conference center including large meeting rooms, break-out rooms, and bar/lounge.
The 170,000 SQFT building's enclosed space houses 82 units dedicated to a condo-hotel. (32 units exclusive hotel suites and 50 condo units, potentially to be integrated into the pool of hotel available suites.) The room sizes range from 480 SF to 2,000 SF presidential suite. The private land (160,000 SQFT) is complimented by 3,300 square feet of public land where the tunnel under the avenue and the Bar Beach house have been already built (see pictures).

Alhambra Hotel
Year 2018 | Alhambra, California
The proposed complex is located on a prominent urban thoroughfare and contiguous to an existing hotel and a restaurant. The site layout celebrates the intersection of Commonwealth Ave and Elm St by creating an entry plaza that stretches along the main avenue with an outdoor seating area and a landscaped pedestrian community area incorporating water features and shaded by an undulating decorative trellis. There is a clear separation between the vehicular and pedestrian circulation.
To minimize the traffic impact, the access to the proposed complex shares the existing curb cut in Commonwealth that currently serves the parking of the existing restaurant and hotel. From the entry driveway the vehicles (cars, taxis and buses) can access to the handicapped parking, loading areas, hotel drop-off and the proposed parking garage. The proposed traffic can exit to Elm Street and from there be distributed to local streets, alleviating the traffic impact to Fremont Ave. The pedestrian access is provided through the entry plaza facing Commonwealth towards the cafe and hotel lobby. From the parking garage located at the rear of the site, pedestrians will access the buildings through marked crosswalk at paved low-traffic areas.
The Complex ground floor is dedicated to a commercial cafe and the rest to the hotel operations, including a small number of flexible meeting rooms for hotel guests. The upper levels are dedicated to 134 hotel rooms, including 115 Standard rooms, 9 Junior Suites, 9 Deluxe Suites and a Presidential Suite with an exclusive terrace garden. There are two levels of covered parking and one level of roof parking, providing 194 parking spaces while only 171 are required by Zoning Code.
The Complex's architecture is articulated by creating three interconnected buildings decreasing in height from 68 feet to 42 feet with an intermediate building height of 53 feet. Addressing sustainable principles the project is proposing solar panels in the highest building and the use of recyclable materials through the structure and finishes.

Iguazú Falls Hotel - Sheraton International
Year 1982 | Misiones, Argentina
The magnificent and powerful Iguazú Falls are celebrated through this simple and subtle architectural statement. The hotel is the only man-made structure in the heart of the National Park with full view to the falls. The 150,000 sq.ft. hotel and resort boasts 180 rooms with private terraces, a retail center on a different level, and a variety of dining and recreational facilities. The hotel also has a subterranean nightclub with a skylight subtly bubbling from the lawn and drawing natural light into the space for daytime uses.
Built from poured-in-place concrete, the exterior has proved durable and preserved the original design intent even in the hot, humid tropical environment. A large tourist facility, the hotel's design is environmentally sensitive. The landscaping takes its cues from the park's protected flora and transitions seamlessly to footpaths and catwalks over the 2.5 mile long falls.

Jurupa Valley
Year 2023 | Jurupa Valley, California
The 118 rooms proposed hotel is in a 1.60 acres parcel, fronting at south the Ben Nevis Boulevard and to the north the 60 Freeway plus being adjacent to the east, to an approved Gas Station. Ben Nevis Boulevard is the main point of access and egress to the future hotel site.
To achieve a balance between maximizing number of rooms (as suggested by several Extending Hotels brands) and the provision of sufficient parking spaces. To ensure a clear vehicular circulation within the site, by providing a direct access and drop off to the hotel front door, accessibility to and from parking areas and to create a fire lane throughout the site. The building footprint has been layout in an L shape, holding at its center the outdoor space where the amenities have been located, in direct connection with the hotel lobby and check-in counter, the gym, a bar, the meeting room and grab and go market area.
The whole site perimeter has been surrounded by a green fence
(a vegetated trellis) ,providing privacy and security to the hotel facilities. The building configuration is organized with two volumes: the longer one is running parallel to the freeway front, and it has three stories above the parking podium and the other wing, perpendicular to the freeway and Nevis Boulevard, has 4 stories on top of a 14 feet high podium housing the entry lobby and other hotel amenities.
The building habitable space has a proposed height of 60 feet plus 10 additional feet dedicated to a sort of atrium that is addressing the western architectural style. The maximum height of this structure does not exceed 70 feet, below the accepted 75 feet maximum height set by city standards.
