Laiva Plaza is a boutique hotel located in the historic center of San José del Cabo. Designed by RA! and developed by Grupo Laiva, the building is conceived as an urban piece integrated into the pedestrian fabric, capable of contributing public space while offering an intimate lodging experience connected to its immediate surroundings.

The project is organized with a mixed-use ground floor, two levels of guest rooms, and a Roof Garden with amenities oriented toward views of the urban context. Its placement responds to the public and walkable character of the historic center, as well as to the use of color as an expression of cultural identity. Based on these conditions, the building is set back to create a public atrium that establishes a sequence of shade, ventilation, and transition between the street and the interior.

The access is conceived as an open threshold, where a shaded passage articulates the encounter between public space and interior. The project is not conceived as an isolated object, but rather as an extension of the street, incorporating the urban flow into its spatial organization.

Formally, Laiva is defined by a system of interwoven walls that generate patios and connected terraces. The volume steps back progressively to respect the scale of the historic center, while the rhythmic repetition of its elements recalls the papel picado banners present in the streets of San José. The use of color and handcrafted stucco provides a sensitive and timeless materiality, consolidating an architecture of hospitality rooted in its urban and cultural context.
