Company Summary

Strata Designs LLC is a US-based company that provides design and management consulting services for new residential homes. We specialize in helping foreign owners work with local builders to achieve great results. Our goal is to make the process of building in Mexico as straightforward for our clients as it would be in their country.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build smaller, more efficient homes that blend the natural outdoors into the built environment. We believe that homes should reflect and respect the natural landscape. Advanced building technologies and systems play a part here, and we always look to implement PV solar systems, rainwater collection and water purification systems, advanced septic system technologies and other methods of reducing our project’s impact and dependence on the local area and the environment.

How We Work

Strata Designs is a consulting firm that provides services to foreign clients building vacation houses in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

We are not a local builder. Instead, we assist our clients with design and documentation services, sourcing and logistics, importation of high quality materials, fixtures, appliances, etc. and anything else needed to achieve high end results.

Our exact role depends on the owner’s particular needs. We ‘connect-the-dots’ and help navigate the process of building in Baja.
