Casa Francia - Hotel, Mexico City, Mexico
This hotel is made of stories and history,
Of lights and shadows, of creation.
It is a hotel of dreams and utopias, always walking, always searching.
A hotel made for those who love the randomness of La Roma,
the serendipity of Mexico and getting lost with intention.
An unexpected medley of a place,
one that has art and is art.
One that is stairs to enjoy and a break in the library,
a place of inspiring cuisine,
of the secret of the underground fellowship,
Of subtleties and mysteries,
Of rebellion and rupture, of history and innovation,
Of a cocktail among gardens and a balcony pool.
Eclectic and surrealist, modern and precise,
A place to pay attention.
A space of absolute freedom,
which improvises like jazz,
perfect in its nonsense
with purpose in its transparent honesty.
A celebration of the beauty of accidental syncretism
And those moments
That cannot happen in any other place.
This hotel is an homage to all the Romas
that there have been in La Roma…
A farewell to everything that was,
A greeting to everything that will be.
Vetta Chihuahua - Hotel, Chihuahua, Mexico
This hotel is open minds and open hearts.
Eyes set to the horizon through the infinite skies
of a city built on possibility.
It is clusters of energy and flickering lights.
It is futures, and futures, and futures,
and the stories of our ancestors
that they are built upon.
It is pasts, and pasts, and pasts.
The multigenerational memories,
that bring us ever closer to the canopy above.
This hotel is the click-clack-clacking of machinery,
the steam and spark of creativity,
the rough and tumble and beep, beep, beeping of a process
both unstoppable and pure.
It is dancing shadows and singing lights,
a metal beam caress and soft smiles upon concrete, and a quiet bed,
It is the mountaintops that call our names
and a land that changes and changes
but stays the same.
This hotel is the many faces of Chihuahua.
It is the everlasting moment, ineffable and true.
It is spirit, and joy, and labor, and creation.
It’s for dreamers, it’s for doers, it’s for makers,
visionaries, artists… for peace and for invention.
It is todays, and tomorrows, and forevers,
It is a place, a sense, a feeling both profound, and of connection.
It is Chihuahua. It is Vetta. It is you.
Premonición Mezcal de Lluvia - Oaxaca, Mexico
PREMONICIÓN is the mezcal of the people of the rain.
It is a mezcal that connects us to the wisdom of generations, one which tastes of the smell of wet earth, of a heritage of divine connection through celebration.
PREMONICIÓN speaks to us of sacred balance that makes our lives better, of everything we can be: community, nature, wisdom, fun, tradition, and vision.
We are a mezcal of stories and connection, of a people who know how to work and have fun, of the sacred spirit of humanity itself and how we can connect with it. But, above all, we are a drink of rain, the mezcal of the people of the rain.
An epiphany about our nature and our divinity, one that you sip, little by little.
VIDA Masterplanning + Design - Costa Rica
“We are the first spark of a successful project.
We’re visionary, pragmatic creatives: we see what something is,
and we envision what it could be.
We’re masterplanners for conscious, sustainable developments.
We create strategies for large-scale enterprises and constructions,
strategies that consider social, economic, ecological, and metaphysical viability.
We offer the balance that we all crave now: a complete, analytical and sensible vision,
coupled with effective, beautiful landscape designs that come from a natural systems perspective.
We exist between extremes, and that is what makes us good.
We are artisanal and corporate, we are small and large,
we are inspiring and sensible, we are business strategy and soul.
We are pragmatists and dreamers, we are profit and heart,
we are the big picture and the small details, we are the plan that sets you apart...
but, most of all, we are listeners.
We listen deeply to every ounce of information we have so that we can develop a really good plan.
Because we firmly believe in doing things right:
in that rare mix of the spiritual and the practical.
We believe in smart design, in the small big details,
We believe in being curious, and living a simple, grateful life.
It might sound utopian
but we still believe we can help improve the world
through better planning, more listening, and more conscious action.
We believe in our clients and in ourselves.
We believe in what we do, and believe we can do it better.
Nice to meet you, we are VIDA.

We are what we are.
Pioneros Chihuahuan Artisanal Gin - Gin, Chihuahua, Mexico
A smoky artisanal gin consciously crafted in Chihuahua from certified Sotol. Infused with a mixture of juniper and unique local botanicals, then distilled in a copper still, this gin presents an exceptional flavor to be enjoyed slowly, thoughtfully, enthusiastically.
This is a gin that dares to experiment, to turn tradition on its head, to offer something different, something new. A gin of two spirits, which brings together ideas and cultures and peoples and times. A gin that represents the unity that takes us forward.
This is an expression of the ability to celebrate everything that was...and then to move boldly toward everything that could be.
This is the spirit of Chihuahua
