Tang’s self-described “surgical expansion” also includes seven new casitas, all with their own courtyards and fireplaces, as well as dining venues, fitness studios, and more. In the terra-cotta-hued living area, case in point, an indoor pool has been transformed into a sunken conversation space, complemented by perimeter daybed niches that afford mesmerizing views of the sky and scenery.
Materials-think tinted concrete, wood, adobe bricks, stucco-pay homage to the area’s vivid earth, while clever tweaks to the overall floor plan forge new indoor-outdoor connections.

Meanwhile, the spa’s baths, encompassing a caldarium, a tepidarium, and a frigidarium, nod to the myth of Apollo and Daphne in bas-relief.
