Danish design imprint Vipp has unveiled its latest design project in the form of the Todos Santos guesthouse. The brand pushes its creative boundaries and creates a home in the Californian desert. The roster of nine impressive designs is joined by the new location, which is found in none other than Todo Santos.

The home measures 3,800 square feet with five bedrooms. The indoor and outdoor spaces interact with one another with the unique structure of the home, making the most of the tropical desert landscape. The design centered around responding to the site itself with a main house paired with two connected annexes which is achieved in a tropical modernist style that fuses history and influences of the environment.
