Buried against the ancient sandstone walls of Boynton Canyon, a $40 million renovation gave Mii amo a second life when it reopened in February 2023 — and Gluckman Tang Architects used the opportunity not to reinvent the property but to deepen its relationship with the landscape. The exterior remains faithful to its minimal pueblo revival origins: low-slung red stucco volumes that echo the iron-oxide cliffs rising immediately behind, their massing so deliberately horizontal that the buildings seem to press themselves into the earth rather than rise from it. The addition brought the casita count from 16 to 23, each finished by EDG Interior Architecture + Design in a palette of terracotta, warm oak, and sand-toned carpet that carries the canyon's color palette indoors. Kiva-style arched fireplaces anchor the guestrooms, flanked by rust-upholstered lounge chairs whose curved forms feel at once midcentury and quietly Southwestern. The communal spaces reveal where the designers took their most confident risks. The lobby settles into a sunken conversation pit upholstered in deep rose, surrounded by terrazzo floors and a warm wood-paneled ceiling that angles like a low desert sky — a room that draws you down into it rather than asking you to stand and admire. On the dining terrace, a long limestone-clad fireplace faces the buttes directly, making the canyon wall the only ornament the space requires. Most remarkable of all remains the Crystal Grotto, a domed meditation chamber whose ceiling aperture aligns to cast a shaft of sunlight onto a quartz crystal at the summer solstice — an act of architectural astronomy that locates the whole property in deep time.
