Alberto Kalach designs monumental hotel entirely powered by solar energy

Mexican studio Taller de Arquitectura X has designed Hotel Terrestre, a sprawling series of villas in the coastal city of Puerto Escondido, Mexico, that runs on solar power.
Mexico City-based Taller de Arquitectura X (TAX), headed by architect Alberto Kalach, designed Hotel Terrestre to be a serene travel destination that utilises only solar power and has a minimal impact on the local ecology.
